EA Adopts "Can't Sue Us." Terms of Service

[Vladimir]

I honestly don'€™t remember the last time EA did something good, so why bother? People who buy their games should suffer, it'€™s only natural and fair.

Just cleared out my PC Library of all EA games, it included:

• Bad Company 2 (going to miss this somewhat)
  
• Burnout Paradise (gonna miss this too)
  
• Red Alert 3 & Uprising
  
• Command & Conquer 3 & Kane's Wrath
  
• Command & Conquer 4
  
• Mass Effect 1 & 2
  
• The Sims 3
  

Apart from Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 3, I don't think I'm going to be suffering.

I assume its a semi-autonomous state from Canada, like Wales is to the United Kingdom. We can set our own laws, but can't mess with taxes.

Lol, you chaps are not even semi-autonomous, bow down to your EU masters! They can overrule any law, court decision and government policy they so choose.

Not really, no.

However when the English took control of the region a bargain was struck, freedom of language, religion, and importantly law. As a result Quebec Law is based on the French civil law of the time, thereby drawing on seigniorial law rather then English feudal law and the other associated legal standards of England.

/history lesson.

I thought you well, my young Padawan. (bow)

I do not think this would ever hold up in court. Someone cannot tell you that you cannot sue them especially if you have done something to them. The fact that you must click before you play in my view would be the same as coercion/duress. They are forcing you to agree with them if you want to use their product. Meaning it would not hold water.

If you provide a service or product and it causes damage, injures you, or something else a company can tell you all day long until they are blue in the face you cannot sue but it would never hold up in court as long as your suit has merit.

They only thing that would make something like this valid is if a law is passed that would limit consumers in the type of lawsuit or the amount of damages awarded, but never would it keep people from suing.

Guess i'm done waiting for Mass Effect 3. Q_Q

-On-topic-
I'll be sending a letter even if i'm in the 'Exempt country'. There ought to be a law against stuff like this. And not just an ethical one.

For a rare time, I'm glad to be from Quebec, but this is a lame move from EA... but something that is becomming a trend. Watch the bubble, it grows andw will someday explode.

Talked with my aunt on the matter, who is a Judge in New York....



Bottom line being, a EULA wont hold up in court. Whenever someone signs something in a hospital, there is a "can't sue us" thing, yet people still sue the hospital for whatever reason.


so NP.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

Besides, most of us are minors anyways, or at least were when checking the box and clicking accept. Technically, they can't hold a minor to a contract, as far as I remember.
