If only more gaming companies cared about their customers the way Stardock does.

What do you guys think, would you add anything to this list of Gamers Rights?

And have you guys played any Stardock games?  I know i have, ages ago.. on OS/2.... but I can't remember what it was called any more.  But I had a space ship that could eat planets.
