Hello All,
I hardly post in this community since i'm so stretched as is in other gamer forum communities i belong to in membership. It seems this particular message board on game legislation is on anti this or that in light of its threads.
Here's something i found via my C-Net newsletter posted on Aug. 29th by [I]Rich Brown[/I].

[B]PC gamers get bill of rights[/B]
[URL=http://www.edge-online.com/blogs/the-gamers-bill-rights]Edge Online[/URL] had an interesting post Thursday in which it reported that PC game developers Gas Powered Games and Stardock have collaborated on a PC Gamers' Bill of Rights. The full 10-point list below:
[LIST=1]
[*] Gamers shall have the right to return games that don't work with their computers for a full refund.
[*] Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
[*] Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game's release.
[/LIST]
[/quote]It goes on to state another 7 bulletin points of the "[U]Bill of Rights for Gamers"[/U] in the article.
The [B]ECA[/B] would be a good consumer advocacy group to wrap itself around something like this for gamers. If not this particular movement by "[I]Gas Powered Games or Stardock[/I]" than something similar in notion.
