No, no, what we should be doing is refusing to play the game in the first place. I'm going to aadopt the policy of NOT buying any hardware unless it has open access to enough information that drivers for any operating system that has the desire can be written. I'm sick and tired of having drivers for only one of the 3 OS's I run! The only thing they recognise is $$$ and £££ (or those daft euro things), so if enough people did it then the consumer will win.
