I just bought the game now, but i do not agree with the stupid "End-user license agreement", the game can not start. How to play without agreeing to this stupid EULA ?

suck it up and agree?

You're within the two hour refund limit if you just bought the game. If you don't like the EULA, get your money back. I think it would be an over-reaction, but it's your money.

I can tell by that comment that you aren't a lawyer. Just saying...

There have only been 6 or so cases in the US where a EULA has been thrown out as unenforcable due to restrictions placed on the end-user beyond the power of the software provider to enforce. Otherwise they are generally accepted to be valid and enforceable.

The one that comes with RL is pretty standard with those that have been formulated since these rulings and you can guarantee that Psyonix have taken advice from legal proffessionals that are well grounded in the current IP landscape.

By all means, if you want to test them on this go ahead, but I doubt it would be profitable for you to challenge it.

I'd say they pretty much have to issue refunds to people who bought the game before the EULA was added. I'm fairly certain it is not allowed to add new terms and conditions to the sale of a product after the sale has already been completed.

I am guessing it is there now because of the RNG gamble boxes? Oh Korean MMO imports, how I thought we were over with.

I skim-read some of it and it all looks OK but I will be mad if tomorrow I am taken to an underground lab and made into a human cent-i-pad.

Can I ask what do you not agree with? Can't lie I didn't read it.
