Upcoming feature: DRM

Greets!

I'm very excited to announce a new feature that's been in the works for some time now, and will likely be pushed out to production in the next couple of weeks.  By popular demand, we are now including Digital Rights Management on all of the art we archive.  This will allow incredible new options for our art, such as:

  • Only working on certain devices, like as the MicroApple ZunePod
  • Demanding a 60-digit serial number at inopportune moments
  • Only being usable on alternating Tuesdays
  • Randomly failing on some systems
  • Causing games to freeze up and dump you out to a command prompt the moment there's a glitch in your internet connection
  • Limiting art to being installed on a total of two devices
  • The ability to remove features from games you already own

Until now, features such as these have only been available on closed, proprietary devices.  How many times have we heard people say things like, "man, I wish I could only listen to this music on my ZunePod" or "why isn't there a feature in Linux that shuts it down if it thinks my copy isn't 'genuine'?" or "gee, I wish this single-player game required me to be connected to the Internets at all times"?  Now, OpenGameArt.org is bringing you what you've been demanding -- a proprietary experience in Open Source software!

You can thank us later.

Bart

P.S.  Happy April Fools' Day. ;)
