Gamasutra
reports that Stardock has revised its Gamer's Bill Of Rights from the version of
this call to action they released during the summer (story). This
is an interim update as Stardock says it is still discussing the proposal with
other publishers. The noteworthy change is item #8, which formerly read: "Gamers
shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or
publishers." This entry now reads: "Gamers whose computers meet the posted
minimum requirements shall have the right to use their games without being
materially inconvenienced due to copy protection or digital rights management."
The news is accompanied by
Stardock's full 2008 customer report (Adobe Acrobat) that also describes their views
on DRM, delineating the difference between complaints about DRM they feel are
"legitimate" and "illegitimate." An example they offer of an "illegitimate" DRM
complaint is the objection if it "keeps people from installing the program on as
many PCs as they own," while a "legitimate" complaint is "a program should not
be installing drivers or other hidden files on the system that use system
resources." They also have a post outlining
Stardock's
release plans, among other things, teasing Strategy Game 2010 ("Not Master
of Magic").
