The one thing I dont understand is why are gaming companies showing public support of SOPA. They should know that the trend-setters in gaming industry are geeks and nerds who are all very aware of how internet works and how SOPA may potentially drain the life out of it. Also, a lot of gamers are tech-savvy enough that they will start pirating their games just to spite them.
