 @gamingonlinux Also, usually when you're expected to read a contract before you sign it, you and/or your lawyers get a say in requesting a change to the contract before you sign and agree to it. You can't do that with a TOS or an EULA, so we're stuck with either never using the service, or "Agreeing" to their terms. Doesn't mean that we actually think it's a good deal if we agree after reading the TOS or EULA. 3 comments
@diffrentcolours @gamingonlinux Right - I'm reminded of Last Week Tonight's episode on Corporate Consolidation regarding Delta Airlines the year they dragged the one passenger off the flight because of overbooking...and how that didn't affect their profit margins that quarter. "That actually does explain their new slogan: 'You want to rollerblade to Houston?'" @diffrentcolours @gamingonlinux It's just that every product has a company that turns their non-monpolistic options on their platform through their monopolistic storefront. PC is sort of the exception, except if you want to play a lot of games...you're going to need to agree to at least one of Microsoft's Windows versions' TOS. |

@AT1ST @gamingonlinux And usually the content is only available from one supplier, so it's not like you can go find another offering better terms...
