In-Game Democracy Gives Gamers a Voice With Publishers

Players of the game "EVE Online" will soon be able to vote for an unusual community council that will present their concerns to the publisher, the company announced Wednesday. The players, who number more than 220,000 and are spread around the world, will be able to vote in May for a nine-member council of representatives, Iceland-based publisher CCP said. Elements of democracy are not unheard of in online games. "A Tale in the Desert" lets the players write laws and vote on having them applied in the game.
