I already signed the Google petition.

You can sign up for League For Gamers as well, a grass-root organization created in protest of the ESA, who the Firefall developer (and creator of LFG) no longer believes represent gamers developers properly.

You can read more in this excellent interview over at Ars Technica.

Can somebody explain how SOPA will negatively impact gamers? Cause I never really read into this.

Seems they will block access to sites that leads to pirated games. I thought this would actually benefit the industry with only the pirate gamers getting the wrong end.

As an example: Someone here posts a screenshot they took themselves from some game. The publisher/developer might see that and figure that it's breaking their copyright. They can then report the site (not the user, the entire site) as one that breaks copyrights, and the site will be removed from all search engines and it cannot recieve money, legit or not.

SOPAs purpose of trying to stop piracy is well intended, but SOPA itself is made in such a way that it's basically censorship.

Ah. Taking it too far it seems. If it wasonly intended to block pirating websites and nothing more im sure wed all feel differently 

Basically. The problem is that copyright holders believe that the best way to stop piracy is by making it harder to get hold of their games. But in reality, many people pirate because it provides good service, like not having to deal with DRM and easy access to the games they want. Instead of trying to censor the web, publishers and developers should be upping their service!
