A few days ago, Game Politics noted that Lucasarts’ name had been taken off the member list of Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which is an U.S. association exclusively dedicated to serving the business and public affairs needs of companies that publish video and computer games for video game consoles, personal computers, and the Internet. They also host and own the yearly video game E3 Media Summit, which has seen many SW games announced and shown.

Because they were taken off the member list, many speculated that Lucasarts would not be attending E3 this year. According LucasArts public relations director Margaret Grohne,

“We can confirm that LucasArts is no longer a member of the ESA.’ ‘As a company we are still committed to bringing consumers the best interactive experience possible and support the ESA’s mission in the industry. LucasArts will be participating in E3.’”

This is good news for those hoping to see more TFU or other game announcements this summer at E3.
