You can not, in fact, copy that link - I had to type it manually. It's relatively short and human-readable, but still...

Devil's advocate: I wouldn't accuse Sony (or friends) of intentionally making the text unselectable, that's on the Steam client.

Still, Steam probably has some clause in their developer agreement where they say that's not on them.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I don't blame Steam, I don't expect them to foresee publishers specifying EULAs as "idk google it m8".

... actually, no, I do blame Steam, what reason is there to prevent copying EULAs? Are they protected by copyright too now?

More just indicative of the hostile posture of corporations

"Hostile posture"

I really like that phrase.

[-] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

However, the companies quite legitimately use the legal means available to them and what is possible is also done. From this point of view, the blame should rather be placed on the legal situation and politics, as these are what make this legally possible in the first place.

If the agreement to play a game needs a whole website, then I say the problem is 100% on the game developer.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

I'd say it's 95% on the publisher, with a large error margin on how shady the intentions of the actual developers are - HD2 is unlikely to be one of those cases.
