The HELLDIVERS™©®³ 2 EULA is a god damn URL
Somebody up at Sony had a Jira ticket to update all the eulas and it listed the URLs for each one, instead of going to the URLs and putting the content in each one of the eulas they just slaped the URLs in.
Edit: clarity
Easy fix, hit cancel.
Doesn’t refund me, let me play HELLDIVERS:.|:; 2 without accepting nor give me back the time I lost reading the EULA. Not a fix.
If you have played less than 2 hours and it is at most 14 days since you purchased it, Steam will refund you with no questions asked.
Unfortunately I’ve played for 325.4 hours more than that, so I doubt they would refund the game even with questions asked.
As far as my non-lawyerly eyes could scan the EULA itself it’s not egregious, which is why I find this mildly infuriating.
I bet you could argue in court that the EULA is null and void, because you can’t be reasonably expected to copy that link into a browser to read it
The EULA isn’t null and void, but it’s pretty meaningless. Not because you can’t reasonably be expected to copy that link into a browser to read it, but because there’s no indication that you should or even must do that.
The EULA contains no terms, it doesn’t contain any wording saying what you can or can’t do. It doesn’t say what your rights are. It just contains something that looks like a URL. So, you’re still bound by the terms of the EULA (as much as you’re bound by any EULA) but the EULA doesn’t permit or forbid anything. It’s effectively the same as if it were blank.
a good lawyer could probably argue that a user isn’t bound to that eula.
heck a bad lawyer could probably too.
Tecnically I agreed to “https://www.playstation.com/legal/op-eula”, there is nothing that tells me that I have to go the site and read it there
Bonus rant: the webpage is one of those death row worthy websites that forces you into the localization it determines based on your IP address, rather than using the HTTP header that has been specifically defined for that purpose.
The header defines the language, but laws follow political borders, so it makes sense. E.g. which country’s eula would you show for a German speaker Germany, Austria or Switzerland?
Language specifiers include country level variants - de-DE, de-AT, de-CH
