IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE BLIZZARD PLATFORM OR GAMES.
So basically if you bought a game/s before you have to agree or you are locked out of your account. So they can change the terms willy nilly just because they feel like it.
I'm not that knowledgeable in this aspect but shouldnt this be illegal (at least in EU).
You buy a car 3 years later the brand changes the user agreement and forces you to accept or else you cant use your car anymore.
It probably IS illegal in the EU. The US, on the other hand, has absolutely zero consumer protection when it comes to large corporations. You basically cannot buy or use anything, except for publicly regulated utilities (like water, electricity, gas) without being duped/forced into agreeing to "forced arbitration".
Things like internet, TV, hell even LG manufactured refrigerators (no, I'm not joking), you are forced to sign away your right to take legal action unless you do so through a "neutral" (but not really, because it is in their best interest to find FOR the corporation, as they are who brings them all of their "business") third party arbitrator.
Fridge rant...
Spoiler:
There's a big hubbub going around because the refrigeration compressors LG has been using in their sold in US fridges are absolute dog shit, with many going out before, or conveniently shortly after, the warranty expires. The thing is, LG prints the forced arbitration agreement on the BOX the fridge comes in (which no one ever gets to see, as the delivery company takes it out of the box before they bring it into your home). You also can't see the box in store, obviously, as there are only display models. They claim that they put a print-out out of it inside your newly delivered fridge, but at that point it's too late, as you've already taken possession of it.
TLDR - If you're an EU consumer count your lucky stars that big corpo hasn't been granted the right to all but bend you over the kitchen table and rail you to their hearts content - because those in the US aren't so lucky.
In the same vein, there's a guy on YT, Accursed Farms, that's trying to go after Ubisoft for pulling the plug on online only live service games (thereby rendering the product you bought unusable). Specifically, they're killing off the original The Crew game this month.
That guy must've been listening to Rage Against The Machine and gotten all worked up and thought "I can't just picket outside Walmart, I need a better cause to rage against..."
Havent seen another applicable Topic but should fit here. Im sitting here with an open mouth in disbelief and ask myself if i am out of touch cause i missed something or if Blizzard is out of touch and really desperate ?!
What the fuck is this shit, are we now getting tipping culture in games. Feels exactly like that from the looks of it.
they are pure trash yep ... i got 250 euros in my wallet from wow gold farm and nothing to spend it on as its all ingame goodie trash ... and i need to buy something lol cause i got more gold but i dont even wanna spend free monies on this trashbag
wow and d4 have turned into cosmetic farms . hearthstone always was pay to win so no point discussing that . wow also is as u can buy the best gear with real money u spend on ingame gold buying wowtokens
no real soul left , gone are the days of cool announcements . now it all rehashes and buy our MERCH U COWS BUUUUUYYYY ITTTTTT
The only game i own there is D4 (got talked into) and liked it actually, played the first 9 seasons and realized this is going nowhere as there was no plan to be seen where this is going and constant bullshitting in streams like "we listen" or "we heard you loud and clear" only to get back to the same issue next season.
So i took a break the past 3,5 seasons and came back with the DLC as from what i heard it was actually good. I disagree, the previous was better but who cares and can now bite my ass for having done so as the same BS is still persistent from their mindset, bugs, overtuned fixed that feel more like "fuck you, we dont care anymore for any balance".
Was messaging a friend and then saw this popup and its the first time i see something like that and felt for a moment like "Wait, am i seeing right" and had to think motionless with open mouth for a whole fucking moment.
I get CS Skins for special tournaments, but this is an expo of upcoming shit - how in fucking gods earth is this worth a celebration yet let alone making money of it. Fuck be happy if people buy your crap in the first place, the sheer audacity makes me wish for them to get closed next - i can remember when we bought games, then there was a patch to fix stuff that also included FREE fucking STUFF,, even if it was just small gimmicks.
At this point the whole AAA industry needs to go tits up, we need another major crash
