Since when did cartridge games have EULAs?

Also: in sane countries (i.e: not the so-called US), EULAs don't overwrite civil laws.

The only dangersis when DRM is circumvented.

In glorious people-protecting America, we actually have something called “shrink wrap” EULAs which state that you agreed to the terms by opening the box. Even if those terms were inside the box.

Wow... but did e.g. Gameboy games have those?

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I honestly just assumed they did because everything does, but thinking back I don’t recall noticing one in the box but I was young and may have just tuned it out. I hope someone else here can recall!

EULAs on every game are afaik a produch of everything going online. i don't think those old games have eulas.

so-called US

I know what you mean but it’s funny to question what a country has named itself.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

The people of the continent called it "turtle island". European occupiers called it the "US".

[-] turmacar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The Country is not the Continent.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious "those people".

The Country is not the Continent.

I still don't want to give the country the satisfaction.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious "those people".

AFAIK, the name is quite consentually agreed upon by the first nations from the continent.
