Gamer's Bill of Rights Follow-up

Devs Leery of -Gamer’s Bill of Rights on Edge Online follows up with
Stardock's Brad Wardell about the recently proposed Gamer's Bill of Rights
(story). As the article's title suggests, there has been some
resistance among developers to the idea, which was co-authored by Chris Taylor
of Gas Powered Games, with Edge finding numerous developers to be "standoffish"
when asked about the subject. Wardell says he also found some of his colleagues
more receptive, but there were vagaries (like defining when a game is "in a
finished state") and intellectual property issues that would prevent a
wholehearted endorsement. The article specifically quotes Microsoft's Kevin
Unangst saying: "Microsoft certainly agrees with the importance of improving the
quality and consistency of PC games. For two years now, Microsoft's Games for
Windows program has worked to make great Windows games even better, and this is
why Stardock and many other publishers are participating in the program."
