Scratchware Manifesto
The Scratchware Manifesto is a statement of purpose, written by several video game developers in the summer of 2000.[1] Their intent was to call out those companies and individuals they claimed were harming the video game industry with their questionable business practices and development policies, hopefully bringing a new generation of game development and developers into the industry with the right ideas in mind; to create glorious, moving pieces of entertainment; and to develop games in a fashion that has been lost in the last 5 years.
The Scratchware Manifesto is supposedly a document in the public domain, free to use and add to by anyone intent on spreading the word.
Scratchware is a term coined in the Scratchware Manifesto in reference to video games. If the game has original content, offers great gameplay and replayability, has a professional look, is bug-free, costs $25 or less for the complete program, and was made by three people or less, it is scratchware.
