Here’s what you actually need to know, and what you’ve probably agreed on:

(╭ರᴥ•́) Dear IMC. Well played, well f*ing played…
PS: This kind of warranty disclaimer is what you’ll find in any MMO’s EULA out there, so pls be aware of that…
Nice EULA they got there XD
I’m trying to recall, did players ever need to click on an “I agree” button after reading through the EULA in order to start playing ToS or download it from Steam?
If not then at least in the US:
That said it’s a complicated topic where you either outcome could occur and IANAL (see also):

All these games have this. lol
It’s a common phrase you learn in life.
CYOA, that does not mean choose your own adventure in this context.
It’s cover your own a**.
Ive written some contracts before, they also have, the force majeure clause otherwise known as “act of god”.
Well, you can actually just scrap that text on the part where it says “if the terms were not conspicious AND if it was not explicit to the consumer thay clicking meant agreeing to the license…”
Cause they do explicitly state that in the EULA and the steam window
What MMO is error free? Give 1
IK theydo, it’s just that there was alot of ppl bashing on them for buying a “product thatdoesnt work”.
The post was mainly ironic in that sense. I dont think there’s a need to keep thatwallof textin the topic xD
Actually it does. Cause alot of younger people will see that as some negative clause. When it’s infact in every EULA for these games that no one ever reads.
Especially wierd since you singled it out.
Quote: “Dear IMC. Well played, well f*ing played…”
Uh I thought the Donger(and thatwell played sentence) was enoughto imply the ironicy of the post regarding the latests rants about the state of the game and whatnot.
Guess I should make it more explicit xD
Well I mean… ultimately, the EULA doesn’t protect them from commercial failure or damage to brand name perception. Only from lawsuits from angry customers.
No it does not. Only from lawsuits, PWE is a good example of that.
I have no idea what that thing is, im probably a bit older than you. So my meme game isnt on point. Also please get off my lawn.
