Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons

So you can't play with friends? Isn't that like half of the fun of Bonerlands?

This includes the use of cheats or so-called ‘mod menus’, unauthorised mods, hacks, glitches, or any other technical exploits, and phishing, scamming, or social engineering. In legalese, does 'this includes' mean 'additionally' or 'specifically'?Also note that this is for a game *without* competitive multiplayet

Please forgive my ignorance. What if we already have the game on Steam? Do I have to approve something? Or do they just have that access now?

Borderlands 3 has such insanely horrible writing though.

> i know about that. i also know its quite overblown. their EULA is no different than all of them. That’s quite an ignorant statement to make, just because you don’t care about what you sign up for doesn’t mean other’s don’t as well. > but no malware has been installed. a root kit is quite literally a type of malware, you agreed to malware being installed to your machine at any point in time.

It's outlaying the parameters and then it goes on to give some common examples so a rational actor can get a good idea behind the meaning of the parameters. It's not an exhaustive list of all activities that could violate their parameters.

Does it forbid those even if they don't violate the parameters in the beginning or only if they do violate them?Can you give an example? Purely for academic intrigue... Not advisement purposes.

Buuuuuuuuuut they changed the EULA and how it has root level access to your system. As in its literally spyware. Fuck free. You couldn't pay me to install this shit. Do so at your own risk. I want less massive corporations rooting around in my stuff. Not more.

That's a grey area, that you would probably win if this hypothetical were litigated. Their parameters are broad and vague, so I could easily see a claim that it is unfairly giving you a better game play than others. Nothing about their parameters mentions multiplayer, so one would assume it apply's to all play styles. I'm the extremely unlikely scenario this came to some kind of litigation the determining factor would probably be the question of whether there is anyway for players to compare single player gameplay at all in a reasonable way? If they have a leader board for single player or anything like that, including even a social media a tracking single player stats then I think it's possible it is determined to be giving an unfair advantage.
