>>149876309

OH NO! A THREAD ABOUT A GAME COMPANY WHICH IS DICKSUCKING SAID COMPANY!
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!
stay jelly EA

Gabe Newell has been making smart decisions lately!

Protip:

Valve cannot legally deny you the right to a class-action lawsuit. Those EULAs? Courts dismiss them. They do not constitute a binding legal contract. They do not have the weight of a binding legal contract. This is why EULAs are bullshit. If they want them to be enforceable, they'd have to get your hand-written signature and witnesses.

This is to discourage idiots.

Valve, Steam, and Gaben are some of the best things to ever happen to vidya.

Keep trying to knock them down off their pedestal though. It's always fun to see people try.

>>149876043
/v/ is not a hivemind.

>>149876446
>>149876446
Oh god not you!

>>149876476
But EULAs do hold up in court as long as they are reasonable. If they said something like you have to be a butler for life for gaben then obviously not but something like this, yes definitely. That they aren't legally binding is a common misconception.

>>149876575
Agreed.

Although people are trying really hard to make others believe it is with all this "drone" and shitting on a game just to shit on it bullshit.

>>149876542

Keep telling yourself that. I bet you cry yourself to sleep, hugging your Gaben dakkimakura, with the thoughts that only an EA marketer would badmouth your vidya savior.

Careful OP. You come at the king, you best not miss.

>>149876476
Also the licence shit is just wording to get around the EU decision about reselling. Means people can't resell their games, but you knew that, it's why you bought it for 75% off. Really, who cares about what they did or didn't do. It's a PR war, and Valve is doing the smart thing of stepping back and not trying to fuck it up some more. Rather than turning it into a damage control nightmare, they just let the shitstorm run its course and don't feed it any more.
>>149876724

This.
It's ridiculous how many people believe the shit they see some people over the internet say.

I can't even remember reselling a single game in my life. I still got all the boxes with the old stuff in my room somewhere.

Actually, I once tried to sell my 1602 AD on ebay. Thank god nobody bought it, that would have been lost childhood memories.

Can someone post the screencap of the thread from 2 days ago that explains what changed, i'm getting tired of 20 threads per hour on this.

The only thing changed is that a judge has to agree with the fact that you sue them, causic claims or something.

Most companys do this, because once a woman sued Mc Donnalds because her coffe was, well hot. It basically states, you can no longer sue us for extremely retarded things.

Pretty much. It's only to prevent these stupid lawsuits. If you really have a problem with steam, like for example they banned you for no reason and you can't resolve the issue over the support, you can still take them to court. Literally nothing has changed for the normal customer.

Anti valve marketing up again ey.

Faggots.

>>149877178
now games are considered a service in the EU instead of virtual items due to an EU high court ruling saying digital items must be tradeable, otherwise it is identical

most people are upset over things in the original EULA.

So now they are moving to origin which is known to be much more trustworthy, am I right?

Um, if you have seen that coffee was hot thing, you may have noticed she got 3rd degree burns due to the hot coffee. We aren't just talking about the coffee not having the perfect temperature.

>>149876680

No, they don't. They never have, and never will.

You're confusing a CONTRACT, which is legally binding, with an AGREEMENT, which is not. You can, at any time, go back on your agreement, and if you feel cheated, you can have it investigated in good faith.

A contract is a legally binding, obvious, minimum bullshit document between two or more parties, and bad contracts will also be sorted out by the law, but if a contract was done properly, YOU are the one who's gonna end up paying for withdrawing from it - not the big business.

Until the EULA and ToS say, in simple terms, what you're agreeing to, and they're legally binding documents, they're not, and you can easily take people like Blizzard, Valve, Ea, and whoever the fuck else - your local grocery store owner - to small claim's court, where the judge will rule in your favor after an hour of talking, then bonk the business on the head and tell them to stop being so fucking greedy and stupid.

But... the new terms of service are to clarify that you're not allowed to sell on your games or steam account as you only have a permanent license (which can be revoked if you try to sell your games/account), not ownership.

Furthermore, on the subject of 'software licensing,' this isn't something that would hold up in small claim's court, or anywhere else where big business and copyright owners can't buy their way around - which they can't when the judge just wants a hit of coke, and to deal with real problems.

There's even an EU ruling that forbids the 'licensing' of software now, forcing companies to treat it as if it's physical media. They've been whining that's not the case for a very long time, to earn legitimacy, and now that it's happened, it's ruined all their legitimacy, as we all knew it would.

I've fought Blizzard themselves in small claims, because they didn't want to accept my return of Diablo for the purchasing money. The judge basically said 'well, it doesn't fucking work, so you're selling a faulty product, and it could be thought of a false advertizing. You're being greedy, you're fucking over the consumer, and now you don't have the decency to give a refund? You will give that refund. Case closed.'

But this isn't americaland, so I naturally have more freedom and rights than what's normal over there.

>>149877617
>the new terms of service are to clarify that you're not allowed to sell on your games or steam account as you only have a permanent license
Since when can laws, contracts and agreements be retroactive?

>>149877769
It's not a matter of tinfoil conspiracy, it's a question of lawyers and lobbyists. Of course the people with power and resources run the world. It's the natural order of things, it's not strange.

Lol, PC Masturr Race and their Steam games. I'm going to enjoy sitting back and watching as something inevitably happens to Valve and/or Steam, resulting in all their games and accounts being lost.

>resulting in all their games and accounts being lost.
Gaben has planned for this. He _MIGHT_ be a jew, but he's not an idiot.

>>149877617

Not legal. They're selling software? They must make it so I can resell it, or they're in violation of EU law. They can't hold me hostage to 'licenses,' or hide behind 'this is an EULA.'

If their games aren't treated like a god damn DVD movie, they're breaking the law. Enough people bring this up, the big courts get involved.
