The Gamer's Bill of Rights

Stardock (known from among others Sins of a Solar Empire) and Gas Powered Games (known from among others Supreme Commander) think that the games industry does not always take into account the needs and wishes of PC gamers. That's why they have made a list of criteria PC games should meet.

A similar standard already exists for console games (set up by Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo, depending on the platform). Stardock and Gas Powered Games hope that publishers and developers will consider these key elements in the future.
We the Gamers of the world, in order to ensure a more enjoyable experience, establish equality between players and publishers, and promote the general welfare of our industry hereby call for the following:

1. Gamers shall have the right to return games that don't work with their computers for a full refund.
2. Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
3. Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game's release.
4. Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game.
5. Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will adequately play on that computer.
6. Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won't install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their express consent.
7. Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time.
8. Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
9. Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play.
10. Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.
A bit more explanation concerning rules 3, 6 and 8 can be found here.
