Just FYI in case you didn't see it.

Each year, the Entertainment Software Association
<https://venturebeat.com/tag/entertainment-software-association/> hands out
hundreds of “press badges” to certain members of the press. To get one of
these badges, I have given the organization my name, phone number, home
address, and more each year for the last half-decade. That info goes onto a
spreadsheet that the ESA hands out to its member companies. This makes it
easier for those companies to invite press to E3 events and meetings.
Up until yesterday, however, that list was accessible anyone who clicked on
a button on the ESA website, as first spotted by YouTube creator Sophia
Narwitz <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDflWZ1CbrA&t=69s>. ---
