What is the default steam EULA for games which don't have a 3rd party EULA?

[76561198138919036]

I literally can't find this anywhere. There has to be some secret EULA that game makers can read and decide whether they agree, or want to make their own EULA. I am interested in the differences between such EULAs. Square enix is notorious for slapping an eula on everything, while Dark souls and similar bandai namco games use the no-eula approach, and they ask you nicely whether you want to use online features, and if so, they present to you their EULA which you can read through and accept if you want. And if you don't, you can farm everything offline- genious !

Please help, this has been bugging me for years

Tnx!

Hey! Just curious, did you find an answer for this finally?

Every single game publisher will have their own. If you need to read a eula for any of them, and can't find one openly on Steam, go to the publisher's site, and look for the fine print usually at the bottom of their pages.

For my experience, this is wrong. I have a steam works account and on game publishes I have to enter an EULA to make the game public. But I am still wondering why I see many games, especially Early Access - but also other games - which have no 3rd Party EULA link on their steam page nor on their website:

Just one example, you find also more by checking game store pages and web sites:


If someone have information if steam has a default EULA which game Publisher can use instead forced to enter an own EULA in steam works settings - or simply an explanation how these games can exclude the step in steam works to set up an EULA (I see no option to exclude that or link to a web pahe) - please tell us.

You're asking from a developer's perspective. You're in the wrong forum. Try the Steamworks group instead.
