Do we have a (semi)official explanation regarding said 'developer rights'? What's the point?
I mean, in previous games, ok, they had a publisher, a DRM in place, i can see why that could potentially be an issue, what with outsourcing, third party tools, standing contracts, et al..
But why here? And for crying out loud, why on utterly NON-sensical things such as changing a character? Or objects come to that?
