Submission + - Stardock rescinds "Gamers Bill of Rights" (rockpapershotgun.com)
binarylarry writes: Stardock’s own Gamer’s Bill of Rights is no longer to be found on their site. That’d be the Bill of Rights featuring the proud bulletpoint:
“2. Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.”
You used to be able to find the bill right here.
PC Gamer are up in arms about it being unfinished in a similar manner to earlier Stardock release, DemiGod, which also came out earlier than its announced release date. PCG go on to quote a post from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell on the Quarter to Three forums in which he responds to a displeased customer, seemingly in absolute contradiction of his own Rule #2:
“the hostility in this thread exceeds my own tolerance for putting up with said hostility.
Also, to anyone, like you Ben, saying the game is like an “early beta” then well, please stay away from our games in the future. I consider it ready for release and if others disagree, don’t buy our games.”
We’ve contacted Stardock for a comment and are awaiting a response.
