What do the ToS even say anyway?
I’ve seen a lot of people throw around the ToS in recent debates. So I went and looked ‘em up for myself because let’s be honest I have no clue what I agreed to in the first place. I only skimmed them and I’m not a lawyer or anything like that. But at any rate, these are the bits that stood out to me.
“EA may need to update, or reset certain parameters to balance game play and usage of EA Services. These updates or "resets" may cause you setbacks within the relevant game world and may affect characters, games, groups or other Entitlements under your control.”
Also we promise not to:
“Use exploits, cheats, undocumented features, design errors or problems in an EA Service.”
I figure that first quote is what supports the idea EA can basically do whatever they want to do
Not that my opinion matters but I don’t think redoing the Malak event for extra shards (regardless of intention) was an exploit or cheat but that second quote seems sufficiently broad/vague to cover any number of situations. I mean apparently we all agreed to not use “design errors and problems” in an EA service.
Oh one more promise we make is to not:
“Engage in any other activity that significantly disturbs the peaceful, fair and respectful gaming environment of an EA Service.”
I guess I just found that one rather funny given the current atmosphere.
