Default EULA for steam games?
I was wondering about the EULA of a certain game, and saw that it didnt have a 3rd Party EULA. Is there a basic one that applies if a game doesnt list one itself?

You can wo with the SSA.

Where do you find that, and do you mind explaining what it is?

SSA - Steam Subscriber Agreement, you know the wall of text everyone agreed to.

Pretty much all games have the same terms of service, are you looking for a specific game's "what will they do with my personal information / what rights do I have" terms?

I'm not sure you know what 'third party' means, in this case:

Games' eulas are 'first party'.

Steam's is technically 'third'.

But every game MIGHT have specifics. So it'll depend on which game you actually mean and why you need to know.

"Don't cheat, don't reverse engineer the game, don't try selling the game, don't claim it as your own work".

I'll read through the wall of text that I totally read through the first time again, thanks. Does ripping assets from the game to use for a mod that doesnt cost money violate the "dont reverse engineer the game" rule? Also the game is Hellion.

K, I've read through the SSA and didnt find anything against nodding, I'm in the clear then?

Well, ripping assets without the consent of the owner of those assets is copyright infringement and can get you a DMCA takedown or even being sued.
That is an illegal action that the Terms of Service don't need to cover.

Don't steal other people's work for your own. It is that simple.

I never said it was my own? Like I said, it is a FREE MOD for the game which anyone can install.

That’s a violation of copyright law

Free or not, using assets without the assets owner permission is still a "no no" and can be DMCA
claimed or the owner of the mod sued.

Always ask for permission first.

If you create that mod, it's "using it for my own".

OK, thanks. The devs have no way to contact them especially given that their studio disbanded, some of the devs arent even in the industry anymore. What should I do now?

Don't use other people's assets without their consent. Period.
Theblaze Aug 6, 2020 @ 12:10am 
Even if the company doesn't exist anymore, someone from the company still has the legal rights to these assets. If there is no way to contact them and ask for permission, don't use these assets, simple.
