Fuck it. That was an unbelievably bad spelling of "he". I never spell "I" as "i". Unless it's Swedish, in which case I never spell "i" as "I" unless it's the start of a sentence.

As games are likely built from dozens of software packages, it's the combined limits put on you by all the combined licenses. Free software (GNU, Linux, and other such examples) lets you use the software, read it, and even encourages you to change it, with the single rule that if you make a change to the software that you give it back under the same license you got it as.

Commercial software is usually closed source, and most of the times include in the EULA not to reverse engineer it, or try to even hack it.

For me, the terms required for you to play is:

1) At least one usable hand preferably with at least 3 fingers, or palm plus one index finger.
2) At least one eye able to view things.
3) (optional) Able to hear sound.
4) Electricity, a computer and some input device, and monitor. (usually)

And that's about it. In the end when you strip it all down, games are meant to be interacted with (fun not being a requirement, although usually recommended), movies watched, music listened.

Then, take a look at EA's EULA, linked to, say, Dungeon Keeper, because it does mention that it requires Origin for installation/activation. My question is; did you need Origin for any of your EA games? The answer is a flat no. EA's and Disney's EULA are generic and don't take into account the different circumstances that apply to each store.

As for your fear of a publisher wanting to sell stuff only on their own store, the worst they could do would be to remove the game in question from sale. No removing it from your GOG account and certainly no removing it from your own computer.

The Disney TOS is not GOG specific. You should ignore anything which doesn't relate to the products you buy, which is most of it. I agree, Disney should have a GOG-specific EULA, because the general one is irrelevant and (because of that) confusing.


The GPL is one of the most complex licenses around. It's longer and a lot less clear than any of these EULA's (although it does boil down largely to "anything it touches must be made available under GPL"). Some other open source licenses are very simple ("you can do whatever you want with it, but don't blame us").

I wouldn't really consider accepting Terms of Use a problem for a "DRM-free" product, unless you need to register at an external website to confirm it.

I always thought clicking YES would lead you to the mature porn section, and NO to the kiddie porn section? You know, like SpongeBob SquarePants porn and such.

I knew a website that actually did that (15 years ago). If you clicked on "No" you got a message "But you also want your fun, right? So here is some Sailor Moon porn for you".

Should also work like this for Terms of Use. "Accept Terms of Use?" "No." "Oh, that's too bad, but we don't want to stop you from enjoying the game anyway, so here you go!"

Defender Quest does that, as soon as you start it offers for you to log in and register to get rare and unique books you can equip. If you say no enough times it just gives them to you anyways.
