EULA nitpick

from Elemental Forums

It seems to have been over-hastily copied from GalCiv 2, as I see two references to the old game that maybe should be updated before anyone has to take the legalese too seriously ?


"6. Create "mods" based on the documented
functions of the SOFTWARE to customize it
and upload those "mods" to GalCiv2.com."



"Updates can be obtained from the website at
https://www.galciv2.com or via Stardock Central
(http://www.sdcentral.net)."



Am I the only one that read the EULA closely enough to notice  ????   :)

 

EDIT  and why does the forum heading say

"Majesty 2 Registration/Activation Issues"   ?

I sent a PM to Frogboy about it even before I got the game installed last night. I assumed it wasn't worth a full topic (and the dangers inherent to any EULA topic) to point out.

But since it's out there, may I suggest a company trip to the parking lot and assaulting the legal department with day old bagels? It does't have to be linked to this issue either, make it a monthy event.:D

Some day a game designer is going to put the words "User agrees to buy the developer of THE GAME bagels if asked," and the players will go WHAAAA?

Who doesn't read the EULA? Don't you want to know what you are legally agreeing to before you jump in?

Not even Bagels would have stopped me from clicking the agree button.

It actually does bind you to an agreeance of bagel buying. See Paragrahp 3 section 2... ;)

hm, the quote button doesn't work with chrome it seems.

anyway: EULA's are not legally bounding in quite a few countries (as far as I know, especially around EU), due to not requiring actual signature. Still used to reading them in case there is something worrisome though, spotted the same (and reference to stardock central as well.. I suppose it should be impulse these days).
