This past week, I wrote about a new study that claims more gamers are playing on mobile devices than on PCs or consoles. Yet more proof that Angry Birds is taking over the world.

Epic Games took a stance against SOPA, a truly horrendous piece of legislation that could potentially put a lot of websites, and the freelancers who write for them, out of business. There’s currently a petition to veto the bill over at the White House’s official website, and I encourage everyone to sign it.

Several well-known editors in the gaming industry made like the Avengers this week and assembled at Vox Media to create a new gaming website temporarily called Vox Games. Many people are excited to see what these guys do, myself included. (Psst! I’m available for hire!)

I’ve been playing tons of Star Wars: The Old Republic since it launched on Dec. 20 and, this past week, BioWare explained why it recently banned some accounts. It’s nice to see the company taking an early and proactive stance against gold farming, but I have the feeling I’ll still have to listen to spam while blasting jawas on Tatooine.

Your job is to inform and entertain readers. Your job is not to please corporate interests like console manufacturers, retailers or games publishers. Don’t ever allow yourself to become confused about this. Because, by means subtle or crude, they really will try to turn you to their agenda.

Pretty cool, huh?
