Support NeoGAF

The solution was release a goddamn patch to allow offline play and to create private P2P lobbies, but they just chose to do nothing.

They should be fucked really hard for that. All of you defending Ubisoft should be too, you are pathetic.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Why the hell would you agree to something if you dont understand what you're agreeing to?

For the reason I mentioned.

 

[Skifi28]

Ignorance of the law or any type of contract like this doesn't necessarily void it

EULAs are not contracts.

 

[GametimeUK]

EULAs are not contracts.

What are they?

 

[Skifi28]

What are they?

A joke usually.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Do it for City of Heroes too.

 

[M1chl]

What so hard in releasing docker container with back-end for this game. They should be forced to do this

 

[Danny22]

I genuinely am trying to understand the mentality of the lawyers here. Do they actually think they have a chance of some money? Or just getting internet famous by this facade of going after big bad publisher? Only in USA would somebody sue over something like this.

 

[RedC]

Didn't they recently promise an offline patch for this?

I believe it was for The Crew 2.

Something tells me that you don't read even 1% of the EULA's that you "agree" to.

Honestly, I hope they win. Offline patches should become the standard for any title that requires an internet connection. Even if it results wandering an empty world, you should still be free to do so. Ideally, they should allow users to make their own servers.

 

[Fake]

Nothing more pathetic than defend a company.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Publishers about to add "we reserve the right to shut down the online servers at any time for any reason" to those EULAs we all skip at the start of a new game.

And just as they are now those EULAs will be worthless.

Virtually all EULAs today say the same thing. There is no reason to read every single one of them.

1. You must agree to the EULA in order to use any software or service
2. You are granted a limited non exclusive license to use the software, you do not own it
3. The license can be revoked by the licensor at their discretion
4. Software or service is provided as is
5. Software or services can be discontinued at any time for any reason.

The problem is people like you dont even bother to read even a single one then get pikachu face when servers get shut down.

 

[gtabro]

I think they will win.
EULA protects them. We just buy licenses. Digital future ftw

You forgot the /s at the end.

 

[T-0800]

I think those are already in the EULA's. I say, just give the two saps like $10 each and piss in their cheerios.

Not much of a warning if you don't see until after you've bought the game.

 

[Guileless]

I wish I could.be on that jury.

Maybe if they were written like above and not purposely lengthy legal jargon people would.

If someone buys a gift card from a nearby store, and the store closes down making the gift card pointless, whose fault is it?

The company for not honouring the card after it's shut down (refund everyone's leftover money on the card), or the customer for not getting their money's worth using it up asap before the deadline?
