        This mistake makes sense to make as a mistake. But also, that’s fuckin asinine

          It isn’t a mistake. Writing different EULA for each game costs more money than writing an overly aggressive one that covers most cases.

        I just saw an advertisement for a custom T-shirt:
        “That’s right, I’m a December dad, who lives at 62a, with size 10 feet and prescription glasses…”

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
