Steam review excerpt from Ulrich

--" Their EULA specifically calls out the following behavior and actions as not allowed and will result in the termination of your license:

Using a VPN.
Streaming the game.
Making fan art.
"Taking actions that go against social norms"
Playing the game on more than one device without buying more than one license.
Any action that "Tarnishes the reputation of Krafton"

They also mention that they:

Reserve the right to "remote access the game" at any time, meaning they have backdoor access to your computer.
Reserve the right to harvest your personal data, such as full legal name, email, physical address, phone number, gender, etc.
Will pass that data on to third party providers, such as marketing agencies and cloud services
Provide no guarantee that the data is protected or anonymized in any way (it includes your name and address so how could it be, anyway?) "--

Might want to read the eula for the game, otherwise you might lose access to it.

Shitty draconinan and unforceable EULA, that's a hard pass for me. Any company that does shit like that don't deserve to see my money.

I didn't see anything about VPNs.

Besides that, it's definitely an overreaching document. I expect it to get a failing grade at ToS;DR.

What's funny is that the EU has already ruled the EULAs are not legally enforceable. So that custom EU version is irrelevant and they may as well have not bothered.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Any source on that? As a european i am very interested on reading up on this!

Shouldn't there be a Steam EULA or something that overwrites BS like this? I don't know. I'm genuinely curious if that holds up. If developers really can terminate your license willy-nilly and damage Valve's reputation by doing so. Because it would sound like a PR nightmare for the store front too.

Wouldn't they lose access to their own rights by causing a scandal that tarnishes Kraftons reputation?

[–] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

They are not end users. So the End User License Agreement wouldn't apply

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

why would they include themselves in it when they can make onesided demands?
