ID Software died long ago. It was sold to Zenimax 20 years ago.
I don't read them and just click accept. I know it's a bad habit but I just can't be arsed.
They’re not enforceable, binding laws anyway. It’s a bunch of corporate CYA. They want to be able to tell a judge someday that they did everything they could to inform you of their business practices and get you to agree to use their product responsibly. The company’s chance of facing a court action is much higher than a user’s chance of being held to whatever they agreed by checking a box.
While the multi-player is now dead it wasn’t in 2016.
I see no issue with making the player agree to any of those.
It's actually nice that the agreements are broken up instead of being in a mega agreement.
I guess. What does that change?
It makes it easier to find information you're looking for.
It makes it easier for your lawyer to organize the briefing document she prepares for you when she's suggesting whether or not you agree to the terms of the contracts.
What, not everybody has their lawyer look over contracts they're about to agree to? What, so they just act as their own lawyer and carefully review these legal documents without the benefit of a law degree? That sounds risky!
I was today years old when I learned Doom has a multiplayer.. I doubt many people buy this for its multiplayer. They could selectively ask those who click on the multiplayer if that was their concern.
Looking at achievement stats, 32% of people finished the campaign while 12% of people won a multiplayer match. So I'm not alone in thinking of Doom as a single player game
it doesn’t matter what you think. It had a multplayer because gamers were screaming for a Multiplayer doom. The game is 8 years old and since there have been more Doom games. Blizzard is not going to update the thing to remove the TOS crap.
Am I not allowed to be infuriated on the mildly infuriating community? I don't care why it was put in there or if they're going to remove it after seeing this post. I'm here to vent because I find it scammy to force this on every player (most of which didn't even play multiplayer) despite not even listing it on the store page like they're supposed to.
maybe they would remove the TOS crap if enough people shouted at them?
or do you just think we should be good cattle and shut up about bad things
Why would you need a code of conduct on a game about murdering demons in the most graphically brutal ways anyways? Something like "by accepting these rules, you agree to be friendly to demons, pet them in the back and have a picnic together."?
Have you seen how people behave in multiplayer games?
Having a code of conduct and making the player agree to it is so neccesary.
OP says it's a single-player game, but it looks like that's not the case. If it is multiplayer, a code of conduct is 100% necessary. The rest seems pretty standard for something online: privacy policy, EULA and TOS.
I wish EULAs would go away, or at least be heavily restricted in what they can force you to agree with, but they're standard.
TOS is useful to define what you can expect out of their online service.
I also wish there were privacy laws, so the Privacy Policy didn't force you to agree to absurd terms, but here we are.
It was released as both a single player that had multiple player options. the multiplayer stuff is defunct now so it is single player now.
Honestly? If you can, refund it and tell them why.
