    i was gonna be cheaky but i changed my mind. What do you expect to come out of this?

    im not responsible for your insecurity

    Ya kinda.... though i might suggest that a higher proportion of the trashbags youre referring to exist in a convalescent space of gamer-AND- young male american.

    Im not saying I advocate ffo any of what happened (the disclaimer is in my first post in this thread)

    If you had asked for an explanation instead of implying that I somehow owe one I would have happily obliged you.

    To me this seems like an open world akin to an RPG where its just an environment to exist in but lacks dynamic intractable gameplay depth until a fight happens.

    So first off about amoral customers. Remember those ‘you wouldnt steal a car’ commercials about digital theft? Enforcment of those laws should be state purview not up to the lawyers of the makers of whatever product.

    Even if you think fourty years under the law makes something old hat, how can you claim that EULAs have been legally scrutinized when you know for a fact many EULAs active right now will never get tried in court.

    i think the last big thing they made was either the solar pannel or the basement energy storage battery.

    If Elon is cracking the whip with HR so hard they cant do remote work at all, then im thinking HR at tesla is generally not very helpful.

    my god... i said philosophy... i also didnt say i majored in anything....

    ... didnt say “whole”...

    bro... you seem super triggered when you post twice swearing at me over a very reasonable perspective....

    Thanks for being so comprehensive. I actually really appreciated it. I also kind of remember the EULA thing about buying something in a box. (from reading not experience, im only 31) Wasnt it like an early operating system or something?

    Even when you think about the assets that populate the game world... There was pop in during the trailer.... I can’t imagine this performing well in the real world on machines whose hard drives have seen years of re-installing huge applications.

    Think proportionally. How much of our society has participated in an EULA? Everyone has at this point agreed with more than they could account for, even many children.

    How does any of that speak to the amoral practices around the use of EULAs?

    Youre correct its true we dont currently have the right to do that. Its not as if all our current rights were always legal though either.

    EULAs are pretty new, almost impossible to actually read and largely untested in court. Most action over EULAs takes the same form this did with corporate bullies sending their lawyers out to threaten people.

    For many people this falls under the question of what are we actually buying with a video game?
