Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL
merc@sh.itjust.works 10 hours agoThey’re bound to the EULA, but the EULA is meaningless because it’s just a URL. They’re definitely not bound by whatever’s at that URL.
This would be like having someone sign a contract when the contract was just a shopping list. Sure, they’re bound by the “contract”, but the contract doesn’t specify anything they can or can’t do.
