| S.Peelman said: I glanced through it, and the article makes much ado about nothing. "After WiiU System is updated (..) any (..) unauthorized modification (..) renders the system permanently unplayable." means exactly that. Nowhere does that imply your system will get blocked solely by declining this agreement like the title says, but rather when you engage in illegal activities with the hardware. You think your system will turn to black immediately after pressing 'decline'? Of course not. What if you did that by accident? You'll instead get the chance to agree later on, althewhile certain features will not work because they needed the updates. In Europe Nintendo would have a hard time doing that anyway, blocking your system just for declining, because it would probably be illegal for them to do so, and EULA's are lawfully extremely shaky in the first place. @ka-pi: What does this anti-piracy act have to do with DRM? |
Glance again:
"In this case, as opposed to others, the system itself becomes unusable if you don't want to accept the EULA. In most other cases, such as a PlayStation update, declining the EULA would result in not being able to play online or get updates until you accepted, but all offline functionality, such as playing physical games, would be untouched. This part in particular is what's hitting a bad note with gamers. Those uncomfortable with agreeing to the EULA now have an E-Reader that only displays one book."
I can't say if it's true or not though, as I agree to the terms everytime!!
