The gamers bill of rights
By zeus_gb 1 Comments
Just found this over at Shacknews, great stuff but I doubt many developers/publishers will adopt it.
1 - Gamers shall have the right to return games that don't work with their computers for a full refund.
2 - Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
3 - Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game's release.
4 - Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game.
5 - Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will adequately play on that computer.
6 - Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won't install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their express consent.
7 - Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time.
8 - Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
9 - Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play.
10 - Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.
