In case someone didn't quite catch my drift here: The point isn't that I'm going to be mean to you if you sell or buy things. I honestly don't care that much. The point is that if you get scammed, or robbed or have goods handed over to you only to then be killed and have them stolen right back as a legitimate game move, I'm not going to help you and nor, I would wager, will anyone else.Should you nevertheless persist you have no one but your own sorry ass to blame. You have been cautioned.

btaylor I think over the course of this and some of last year, you have slowly been changing from a chill dude that rarely ever posts to just another forum troll like the rest of us.

I'm sure the publishing juggernaut that Paradox is already has some legalese written up for Salem. Better make sure it fits the game.jorb wrote:The accounts could be argued to be personal and non-transferable by nature, though, but it could, indeed, be argued that we should write a EULA. I just hate the bureaucratic implications of doing that.sabinati wrote:they are selling access to an account, or to some data (ingame items). access != ownership. seems like a similar situation to many software licenses to me. the software license doesn't grant ownership, it grants the right to access.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

I think people should know that if at any point that if its in the terms and conditions of the game then yes it is illegal. Besides what do you get out of buying virtual items on a game. Progress yourselves or don't play. Lazies.
