dlrk Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Squad is not under any obligation to release any updates, expansions or titles at any time. Each release may very well be the last one.I really take exception to this. Squad openly says KSP is unfinished, sells KSP, and now says they have no obligation to finish it?!

Moon Goddess Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 They have to say this... They would be STUPID to not say this. What if they go bankrupt? What if Harvestr gets hit by a bus?(please don't), What if Mexico goes to war with other countries and cuts off trade? If they didn't say this you could sue them for breach of contract.Just count on them to do their best and quit trying to get legal with it.

dlrk Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 At the very least, they should agree to release the source if they choose not to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's part of most any EULA out there, for pretty much everything Moon Goddess says. Especially the part about Harvister not getting hit by a bus. They would be IDIOTS to stop making this game. It could give them an income for a very, very long time. But if something terrible happens they need to know that people are not going to sue them into oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranium Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 At the very least, they should agree to release the source if they choose not to finish it.This is their intellectual property, and they are under no obligation to release source code. No company is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 At the very least, they should agree to release the source if they choose not to finish it.The source code isn't only intellectual property as was correctly stated by Cranium. What if for some unpredictable 'act of god' the source code gets lost.And don't complain "you've paid for it" because you didn't. You paid for the product you currently have, not for any future releases. If SQUAD wanted to they could charge you for each and every update. They'd loose an unimaginable amount of goodwill but in theory it is within their rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkil88 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Every EULA on earth is bogus. You just happened to read this one.... Early Access game StarForge just went down this road. People went crazy. But the devs are only trying to cover their tails in case of an accident or something. if a tornado blew squad off this earth, then thats all folks... KSP would be done... then what? your going to sue because of it?? Now lets all hope that never happens... But they have to do something to protect themselves. This whole world is sue happy. If something bad happened, would you also want to be sued? heck no.Now on the brighter side of things, EULA's are still unproven in a court of law. and Squad is in a legal agreement with Steam and Valve to finish KSP.

Kimberly Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 This is the deal you make when you buy:1) You get the current game2) You get any future updates, if they are madeThat's the agreement you sign up for when you buy, and I think that's very reasonable. If Squad wants to move on after a particular point, or is forced to, you shouldn't be able to sue them to keep making the game! Keep in mind that you pay a lower price because you're getting an inferior product at the moment. If they made you pay full price, then things would be different.

Captain Sierra Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The EULA is standard legal crap that has to be said. If, God forbid, something happens and Squad cannot, or does not continue work on KSP, they have to cover their asses, which is about half of what an EULA is, a cover my ass document. With the support they have to continue and the financial position the finished game could put them in, they probably don't want to stop work on it. It's that simple. KSP will be around for a long time unless some unforseen force of nature does something absolutely horrible to Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Zoom Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 OP:(1) is just looking for some reason to freak out;(2) as (1), but specifically because today's release rendered the usual excuse ("OMG when is the next version coming out????") invalid for at least a week;(3) has never actually read the EULA before it popped up in their face during today's install.Take your pick.

ouion Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 What if Harvestr gets hit by a bus?that would be sad and a fail.I would attend his funeral and later beat the crap out of the bus driver for killing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This thread is months old, and has long since run its course.
