#EULA

Just started the game for the first time in a while and I was greeted with a ridiculously extensive EULA, which I had to accept before proceeding. I doubt this approach has any legal validity. European laws, particularly under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), emphasize transparency and user understanding in terms of service agreements. The length and complexity of this EULA undermines its comprehensibility and thus conflicts with these legal standards. Also, the requirement to accept the new EULA upon game startup, especially after I have already purchased and spent considerable time playing the game, makes no sense. This practice could be perceived as coercive as it forces long-term players to agree to potentially altered terms without prior notice or option for refund. This probably does not align well with consumer rights, especially in the context of prior financial and time investment in the game.

Whoever thought this was a good idea should probably reconsider.

What has annoyed you so much about reading and scrolling…

Also in this u really seem to be emphasising ur a long term player and that doesn’t change anything.

I honestly don't mind reading but this was way too much. Even though you might not care, many companies rightfully see the EULA as a somewhat legally binding contract which can be used to enforce whatever they write in it. I'm giving this feedback because the EU has protection laws in place against companies (like for example Rockstar games) that force users to agree to huge EULAs with many unlawful requirements.

Even though the TheHunter EULA isn't even close to that example, there is some stuff in there that I assume many people have never read but blindly accepted. For example, "you may stream and record your playing of the Game on channels like Twitch etc. provided that such use is done in good taste and does not infringe the intellectual property rights of Expansive Worlds or reflect negative on Expansive Worlds or the Game". Which theoretically could mean that they are able to ban you if you say anything negative about the game on Twitch.

Considering this is about consumer law and GDPR, my statement about being a long term player can actually impact a legal case if it ever got to that point. The retrospective application of new terms to existing users without clear options is not exactly fair or transparent.

If you do not agree with them, do not accept them and request a refund for the purchase of the game on the basis that "you do not agree with the new EULA", easy

So they know exactly what they are doing,you mentioned European laws.If you are so annoyed by it just skim through it like normal people.

Second point of feedback, I suggest reconsidering the use of Discord as the primary platform for collecting feedback. I feel like this is just attracting people who for some reason wish to dismiss my concerns rather than facilitating a meaningful dialogue. I somehow doubt this effectively communicates my feedback to the appropriate people at Expansive Worlds.
