It actually states that you may transfer your rights to the game to another person, which is, like... wow.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this in another steam-connected game.

I still dislike the wording around the fact that the TOS can be changed at any time, and refusing revokes your right to playing it (without any compensation), but that's pretty much industry standard (unfortunately). This however, stood out to me.

P.S: If any of y'all have some extraordinary TOS's for other games that stand out in good (or bad) way feel free to share, it'd be interesting to know if there are others!

I did pirate the game, and then it was so utterly awesome that I went and bought it shortly after they patched in the epilogues.

One of the reasons I have the steam achievement for finishing the game, but not the one for finishing the tutorial xD

This is how you battle piracy

imho, that's how you find the some of the best games games.

Find the ones that people pirate, then enjoy so much that they go out of their way to get an official copy.
