Brian SlettenThe next time a company updates their privacy policy with long, thick legalese, let me give you this visual summary.
Big Blu GnuI am beginning to think that #Nintendo has become a bad influence on gaming. Yes, its games are good, but I am only now realizing this is a company that litigates aggressively on copyright matters, kills off support for its old games so that it can resell them virtually unchanged on new consoles, and expects us to abide by its tedious #EULA or risk bricking our devices. So ask yourselves this: are you playing the game, or is Nintendo playing you?

SemmelstulleHuh, so the #Beaterator #EULA by #Timbaland and #Rockstar forbids commercial use for ANYTHING created with Beaterator, even if you do not touch the premade assets.
Guess I will have to create my #game #launcher background #music without my #PSP

TheTomasEs geht um den weltgrößten Spielzeughersteller oder mein Versuch, bei #Microsoft und #Copilot nicht ins Polemische abzurutschen. Ich bin offensichtlich gescheitert :-) Aber es gibt ein Blick in mein Bücherregal. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
AtemuI just came across a tool to download+decrypt #windevine content.
Interesting in theory but looks abandoned.
What I find very interesting though is that it comes with a #EULA that summarises to "don't pirate" – presumably to keep the lawyers at bay. The code is licensed under #GPLv3 however.
Little known GPLv3 fact: If the software you received has "further restrictions" placed upon it, it grants you the explicit permission to remove them!
I would like to coin this tactic "#DMCA-condom" ;D

When a company ends support for the last version of a given #software product compatible with any subset of the supported #hardware, or ends support for a given software product altogether, or ends support for a software-controlled hardware product, the warranty #disclaimer, limitation of #liability, indemnity, and related #EULA terms should be deemed without force or effect regarding any future harms resulting from software defects unless the company releases all information and legal permissions necessary for arbitrary independent parties to patch those defects and distribute and install those patches.
Either release the complete and corresponding source code (including any keys necessary to install or run a compiled version) with a license to make and distribute fixes, or fix your up stuff forever, or face unlimited liability for the consequences of your refusal to fix or allow fixing.
