When updating to the latest patch I had to agree to an EULA. In that EULA I found the following:

12. Included Websites. The Website includes, but is not limited to, the following websites, and includes the services offered therefrom:
1. www.mwtactics.com
2. www.mwomercs.com
3. www.sinsofadarkage.com
So anybody stating that there is no proof can now just go take a bath.

Discuss.

Only if you bathe with me. :)


p.s. - you're attempting to draw a conclusion that doesn't follow from the quoted text. That could just as well be evidence that they wanted to use the same EULA across several properties so they had to word it in a manner that would cover them all.

They made 1 EULA for all their products, is what I gather.

Yes, that is fine. What's not fine is that the money pledged for MWO was not entirely spent on MWO.

LULZ. Because the money GE makes off light bulbs never goes to develop commercial airline engines.



Soon... soon.

Is this what counts as proof these days?

Oh wait, your trolling.

He's also completely correct, though a eula that allows for cross promotion isn't why.

We pledged money to PGI/IGP to develop this game, and tot he companies in general. All I gathered from the new EULA was that they were covering a number of games/websites. This means IGP used money from all 3 to create a blanket EULA... no big deal.

And really? you are concerned that a publisher is using money from one game to fund other games? Welcome to the business world my friend.

"are you concerned that the donation you gave for a specific thing didn't go to that thing and disappeared into business? Too bad, you should expect to be thrifted at every opportunity!"

Gosh. What shocking proof. Now I know beyond a doubt that PGI is actually a front for vicious attack weasels bent on world domination. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Ummmm... they are connected, because the EULA agreement is from IGP, the Publisher, which also happenss to be publishing those games.

Tin foil hate much?

If I pay for Windows 7 I don't get to say Microsoft can't use it to develop a POS like Windows 8 or continue the futile console war.


No I certainly don't, I also have nothing to complain about if windows 7 is supported. I mean i could complain if I was feeling particularly dense and self involved but i'm not.

See the reason i can't complain is that i see PGI hiring staff, releasing steady bi-weekly patches with new content. I see communication (not as much as i'd like but it's there) coming from PGI, and a projected game plan.

so yeah, i like to not sound like a self entitled twit, but that's just me.

and this proves it HOW?

Still waiting for that part. An generic EULA covering all of IGPs properties does not equal a paper trail showing misappropriated funds. Hence, the basis of this is highly flawed.
