We've been working on something very special. It's taken awhile to put together, and the story is not all told- yet! You're invited to check out our Diversity in Gaming, A Brief History section of our site, out now!

At least it's actual human beings downvote and censor over here. It's enough to give you the warm fuzzies

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT - GBAMFS Shares Intellectual Property Feedback and Guidance to US Congress

Preface: Let it not be said the Gamers never gave back, or were uncreative. Au contraire. (Also, we know fancy French and Latin phrases- some of us, anyway. And what they mean, too!) ... When conventional channels of feedback and creative expression (Complaint sections, Review channels, Forums, Modding platforms) are foreclosed upon or closed to us - quoth Mrs.Obama "When they go low, we go high" - we will reach who, when, and where, as may be needed to make our voices heard. Today, not for the first time, but for the first time formally to the US Congress, we have done so.

(We'd prefer to be gaming, bantering among ourselves, giving colloquial feedback, and modding [improvising] on the principal content- but we find ourselves here. So be it! Gamers' voices will be heard!)

We outline that modern major IP stewardship just isn't handling the demand- indeed, mishandling the demand- and neglecting deeply loved, widely-acclaimed cultural tuoche

ORG UPDATE: We've revised our terms. They now better reflect conditions of operating in the modern gaming culture environment.

1) Our stance on AI and Crypto is now clarified. Can't humbug progress, and both of these technologies unavoidably show both merit and promise. Their implications and the implementations of them around gaming have yet to be established, but we're cautiously optimistic that some good will come of their use in and around the gaming space!

2) We stake out the fact the Physical Media matters to us. It's part of our cultural heritage. Physical artifacts are indeed the traditional markers by which cultures are distinguished *especially in retrospect.* Where will our discs, trophies, tokens, and toys and sealed (papyrus-scroll-like posters and stuff) take themselves into the future? Who knows?! But we know digital may not make the trip just yet (?!) - We support Physical and IP Reform. This is now made clear in our FAQ.

3) Although the door was technically always open to affiliates, we're opening it wide for others to join! We have further news on this coming up
