Stardock Evaluates DRM Complaints, Updates Gamer's Bill of Rights

Posted by Soulskill on from the they-sense-anger dept.

Earlier this year, we discussed the Gamer's Bill of Rights, a document put forth by Stardock CEO Brad Wardell to address what he felt were the unacceptable characteristics of the gaming industry. ShackNews reports that Wardell has taken feedback from gamers, developers, and publishers, and updated the document accordingly. One particular area on which he focused was DRM. Stardock also published a customer report that examines the issue in greater detail (PDF). MTV's Multiplayer Blog fans the flames of the debate by asking if anyone is embarrassed about pirating video games.

    Some of you are not going to be happy unless they release the source code, allow you to do anything you want with it, release it on every platform (even ones in which it would be financially infeasible to do so), or a bunch of other fantasy pipe dreams. Lets get realistic.

    What?! You paid for that DRM encrusted pile of shit? Feeling taken advantage of?

    Take matters into your own hands. Here's a Free Download of Spore, minus the DRM and other nasties.

    Next time, check Piratebay BEFORE you buy.
