Here are some excerpts from Eula of Pillars of Eternity

'Without prejudice to any other rights, Paradox may terminate this EULA if you fail to comply with
the terms and conditions of this EULA. You shall then cease all use of the Game and destroy all
copies, modifications, printed or written materials, and merged portions in any form and remove
all component parts of the Game which have been downloaded to your unit.'

'The extent of this permission is subject to change from time to time and may be withdrawn
at Paradox´s sole discretion.'

'Unless otherwise provided in this EULA, you shall not (...) Use, develop, distribute or sell cheats, automation software (bots), hacks or any other unauthorized third‐party software designed to modify the Game'


Don't you think these are a little bit strict for a supposedly DRM-free site?

Publishers don't make several eulas for different platforms usually and with DRM free then can't enforce it also know that Paradox does not own the IP, it was always Obsidians who is now owned by MS so just ignore it. Paradox only ever helped distribute it.

Depending on where you live, EULAs may have no legal value.
Also, no contract supersedes local laws. (Example: privacy laws)
Sometimes the EULA is just a copy/paste from another (DRM) platform, containing things that aren't relevant for the GOG version.

Worried that they're going to send the Feds to your house and make you delete all copies you have?

Don't waste your time worrying about this.

Feds in Poland?

I did think that as I was writing it, but I left it as "the Feds" to highlight how ridiculously unlikely it was to happen!

Must be incredibly bored to read through EULA's....just saying

I concur that such language is very heavy-handed.
Sadly, these are par for the course not only for games, but for any computer program.

the best compromise in my opinion is what John Carmack did back then in id Software: sell the games and after some time, release the game programs (not the game files themselves) under a free license such as the GPL. That is, I would still need to purchase the program even though the game program could be respectful of users' freedoms.

Like I said, in your own home you're protected by privacy laws - no matter what a EULA says.
"in your own home" means: data that doesn't leave your computer/home.

It sounds like that was copied from a multiplayer game. Against the EULA to use cheats?? Laughs in random savefile modifiactions.
