Yes, but I didn’t single those companies out since the ESA can officially support something without unanimous member support.

Keep in mind that this bill is directly supported by Nintendo and Sony. The bill is also supported by the ESA whose member list includes among others: Microsoft, Capcom, Epic, Square Enix, Namco, and Konami. The video game industry is not happy about pirating and this is their solution.
