Crysis 3 Crisis Averted

The Terms of Service for the new Crysis 3 open beta includes language about banning players for not reporting bugs, recalling the recently quelled controversy over the SimCity beta ToS threating a mab from all EA games for failure to report bugs. This new End-User License Agreement issue apparently has the same resolution as the previous one, as games.on.net notes a tweet explaining: "We did - it was baked into the Beta before we realized it had the 'Bug Ban' clause. We aren't enforcing that." They also link a follow-up tweet saying: "We'll be releasing a blog post about that soon, but for now rest assured we aren't banning players for finding bugs." So we now know why EULAs and ToSes are so lengthy: Even the people making the games can't be bothered to read the crap they let their lawyers stuff into them.

So they arent changing the EULA but they arent enforcing it? Is that like reserving the option to fuck you in the ass?

Basically. "Oh, don't worry! We'll never enforce it. Trust us!"

Of course, this is the same company that said "Oh, don't worry. We'll never take away your access to your games for being banned from our forums! That's just broad language in our ToS!" and then did EXACTLY that to multiple users.

but it's tiresome to hear "OMG THEY WANT TO BONE US IN THE BUTT!" when no one ever actually planned on doing that and the people who would be responsible for doing such boning have no clue the language is even in there.

That would be far more believable had EA in fact not already done this exact thing, and had they not taken months to fix the issue even after the "media" excoriated them for it.

Amazes me people will defend this shit - "Guys! I'm sure they won't lock people out (like they did yesterday)."
