DUST 514 NDA
« on: 17 May 2012, 01:52 »

While waiting for things to work I'm reading the DUST 514 non-disclosure agreement.

... it so needs a Louella-ised version.

"Like, you can look and play and stuff, and in return you'll tell us stuff, and what you tell us becomes ours, 'cos otherwise our lawyers think it's really ewww. And, like, don't share it, even if it's cool and you really, really want to. And if it's not cool and it doesn't work, and melts your computer gear, we can't afford to fix that, sorry. Except, y'know, that we'd like your feedback about it so we can fix it for other people, but you'll have to get your own other computer to let us know. It's ours, okay? And if you break the rules that would really hurt us, okay? We can safeword at any time and it's over, with or without cuddles. Let's sue each other in Georgia, like, say, if you turn into someone else without us agreeing, because it would be ewww to find we were playing with strangers. IT MIGHT SUCK, OKAY? BUT IT'S NOT OUR FAULT."

If NDA's and EULA's read like that I would actually read them :P

"Oh, and you can only tell people stuff that they could know already if they'd been following the news or seeing the trailers or reading the gaming press or stuff. Being the first to leak something is unrighteous."

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Careful, the lawyers might add something to the EULA that makes it a violation of the EULA to make fun of the EULA.    :evil:

Oh hush, we require massive lulz - there isn't enough fun on the forums these days :P
Besides we have resident Internet-lawyers as well >_>
