When not even the companies take these massive documents seriously, it’s clear that we need to rethink how this all works.
True. It doesn’t even state what happens if I have a pre-established eldritch pact going before signing this.
I don’t mind these contacts / TOS. But the courts have to separate fixed contaycts open to the public vs. negotiated contracts in private.
Fixed contacts, which do not allow for negotiations, should not be able to use individual arbitration clause.
They do take it seriously enough to mention that jurisdiction fir everything except clause 5 is in Ireland. This definitely went to some lawyer before they used it
Obviously, shits very serious so clauses to exclude clause 5 needed to be written. That said, still hilarious to see
Agreed, sneaking crap like this in contracts should be grounds for nullifying them since it shows the companies don’t have the expectation that people who click the accept button have read through 20 pages of deliberately obtuse legal junk (never mind actually understanding it enough to make an informed decision to agree to it).
That’s not even mentioning the shitty condescending attitude of “lol look at this wacky stuff we do…but we’re reserving the right to financially destroy you based on the terms hidden in this document alone”
I’m pretty sure they do it to prove copyright infringement should another dev/publisher copy and paste their exact agreement into their game or service, like how cartographers put fake cities/landmarks on a map to easily prove someone copied their work. I remember an AWS service having a “zombie apocalypse” clause at some point.
No Eldritch compacts? The old gods will not like that. Blessed suffering awaits those who agree to these terms.
You know someone read the entire EULA to find this and consulted their attorney to see if it could be upheld in court.
Also the attorney at Larian that had to approve the TOS.
“…you want to put what in there now?”
Seems rude to ban warlock in the eula, but still put them in game…
I mean that’s a pretty legit clause.
