This link was on the myadsl forums earlier, and I thought I would replicate it here: http://www.twitchguru.com/2006/06/26/mmr/
I wish I could make something and accept not liability for it, no matter what happens. Imagine if EA made cars... I cant understand how the gaming community accepts the bull this company offers.
They will happily use linux as their server side app for bf2, but dont give a toss about the actual linux users, they release really buggy software that has resulted in more than a few users loosing their operating systems. They offer almost NO support for their product. They dont actually listen to the players, but rather just gun for that bottem line dollar.
The amount of tryanny a people are willing to accept is the amount they are willing to live under. The gaming community seems to like taking it a lot up the.... a real lot.
On my side:P Im doing what I do best. Biatch and moan. Im starting a petition to get the big gamers to be more liable for their software, and to make sure that they produce is fairly for all major OS`s. I know it might be considered going over board, but bugger that. If I produce something.. and there is a flaw in that design, I am held liable for it.
If a car producer makes a car that has a flaw in it, the car is recalled and the flaw resolved, otherwsie the car manufacturer will get the heck sue`d outta him. The last time you bought a car, did you sign away all your rights with a EULA? Why should it be like that in the software world?
