Author Topic: The Thing You Accept When You Install Games (Read 1624 times)

You know that thing you have to accept when you install a game? I was wondering, if someone actually read it, and disagreed with it, what do they do? Just have the game sit there? I mean, your not allowed to return PC games. So you just spent your money on something that you cant play because you disagree with the accept thing. Do wouldn't it make more sense to have to accept the agreement before you purchase the game?

Shat, its 5AM and I haven't slept. I could've sworn this was off-topic.

You just say you agree with it?

You can return PC games if you bought them at the store/online. Besides, all agreements basically say the same thing. If you didn't agree, then you wouldn't be playing any games at all.

I read it, it says something about some secret plan to rule the world and that by agreeing to the conditions you are allowing an alien squid take over your brain.

Nothing really important.

Do the Big Case Nobody Wants To Try and question the fact that EULA's are actually legal if they try to charge you for disobeying it.

No-one's actually proved it, people just agree with it because they'd be hated by every company in the world if they proved they weren't

My mom does for account stuff, like when I was buying Gmod, she looks through, sees Source SDK, and reads it, do you really think I use the SDK for illegal stuff?!

If you don't agree to it, the game will pretty much just sit there, doing nothing. However you might as well simply agree, since EULAs are not automatically valid. Any disputes regarding them must be settled in court, and usually the EULA will be deemed invalid. For the most part, unless you plan on outright breaking all the conditions set by the agreement, you might as well agree. The companies know how hard it is to win a case regarding these, so unless it is a major infraction, nothing will ever come out of it.
