That's a lot for free time you have but thanks. Could you read my Windows LA ?

That's a lot of snide you have but thanks.

I'm not a lawyer, but I read through that EULA as well and can tell you that you can mostly ignore it. It's not a EULA specific to TR remaster but Aspyr's general license that applies to all of their products. This includes all the games they make, which they sell on their own store (which is part of what they keep calling "the service") and provide forums and support for (which also are part of the serice).

Going down the EULA we have...

Section 2 amounts to "don't pirate our stuff". It also says that you don't own the game but only a license to use it, but that's standard EULA-talk even for physical media.

Section 3 says that you can receive "business-related communications" from Aspyr Media either through the service or via email. Remember, they operate a store, so that's mostly concerning that. They can also send you "marketing-related emails" if they have your email address (which they don't), and you can opt out.

Section 4 says that platforms who sell the game such as Steam, GOG, Xbox, etc. are not involved in this EULA, but only you and Aspyr Media. That's standard.

Section 5 talks about user accounts. You can go onto the Aspyr website and create an account, which might be useful if you want to buy games there (again, they have their own store). Using that store is also part of what they keep calling "their service". You won't need an account for playing TR remake unless you buy it directly on Aspyr's own store.

Section 6 is about "your content", i.e. all the stuff you post on Aspyr's website. It's the same as with basically every other website telling you that while you remain the owner of whatever you post, Aspyr has the right to use it however they see fit. It's par for the course.

Section 6.2 amounts to "don't do nasty stuff on our service (website, in-game chats, and so on)".

Section 7 concerns mods and is a bit more interesting. It basically says that if you make mods, the guidelines of section 6.2 also apply to the content of your mods. Aspyr uses mod.io for managing mods for their games, and they link to the privacy statement on mod.io which you can't view unless you're registered there and log in. All that legal mumbo jumbo only concerns mods you yourself submit to Aspyr, which I simply wouldn't do. I mean, why should you?

Section 8 is about "virtual items"; in-game stuff like skins and other DLC, and so on. It's also run-of-the-mill and says that you don't own those things but just buy a license to use it, that they have no real-world value, that Aspyr will not recognize any trades you make with other people, e.g. when you try to sell/buy in-game stuff to/from other people, and no refunds will be given for in-game purchases.

Section 9 tells you that Aspyr has customer support which you may use but not abuse. Also, third-party platforms (Steam, GOG, etc.) are not obligated to provide support for Aspyr's stuff.

Section 10: Term and Termination. Sounds like a Jane Austen novel. Anyway, it's also standard EULA talk. Basically, it says that if you violate the terms of the agreement, you will be terminated. Arnold Schwarzenegger will personally come to you and.... Kidding aside, it says that Aspyr are not obligated to provide any services to you if they go under, choose to modify or stop their provided services, or if you violate the terms of service (e.g. you make copies of their games and sell them, and they catch you). They also say that you have to "promptly destroy or delete all copies of the Service in your possession". Yeah, good luck trying to enforce that unless you bought games directly from Aspyr.

Section 11 is about "monitoring". Sounds ominous but is harmless. It's the same kind of "monitoriing" every other service like GOG, Steam, Reddit, practically all forums under the sun, etc. uses to make sure you don't post stuff you're not supposed to.

Section 12 says that not all communication in regards to the service will be encrypted, that this involves a risk of others being able to get their hands on this, and that you ackowledge that this risk exists.

Section 13 says that Aspyr are not responsible for the content of third-party websites/applications/services that are linked to on Aspyr's service (e.g. ads, links posted by users, etc.). That's also standard.

Everything after that is legal talk about copyright, warranties, and so on. Nothing that's in any way important if you buy TR remake here on GOG. Or anywhere else, really. This means that even though that EULA sounds kind of threatening and restrictive, *ALL* EULAs do that. It's the nature of the beast. It's no reason for concern, though.

Edit: FIxed a few typos and grammar errors, but left others in. On purpose.

"Virtual Items have no real-world value" sounds like it could be entertaining in a copyright damages suit.

I agree with @notsofastmyboy. I skimmed through the EULA and I also think this is being blown out of proportion.

The "licensing" parts under Section 2 are there to show that buying the game doesn't give us any rights over Tomb Raider's intellectual property and assets. Essentially, we are only allowed to play the game and use it personally.

"You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer, redistribute, or sublicense the Service... "

It doesn't allow them to force anyone to delete their (legally bought) copies of the game because, at least as far as I know, that would probably go against most consumer protection laws in many jurisdictions.

NOTE: I am not a lawyer.

I'm full of snide!
