De duistere deal van Ubisoft

Ubisoft kwam de laatste tijd slecht in het nieuws. Wat hebben ze nu weer gedaan?

De launch van Assassin's Creed: Unity is alles behalve vlekkeloos te noemen. Ubisoft heeft alles op alles gezet om dit goed te maken door middel van diverse patches en updates. Ook hebben ze beloofd om de bezitters van de game gratis dlc te geven en de season pass houders krijgen zelfs een gratis game! Maar je weet wat ze zeggen: "There's always a catch." Ook nu is dit het geval. Om de gratis game te bemachtigen moet je akkoord gaan met bepaalde voorwaarden, die er voor zorgen dat je Ubisoft niet aan kunt klagen voor Assassin's Creed: Unity. Hier is het belangrijkste stukje uit de overeenkomst:

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., and each of its past, present and future divisions, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, together with all of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, shareholders, directors and agents, and those who give recommendations, directions, or instructions or engage in risk evaluation or loss control activities regarding the Campaign (all for the purposes herein referred to as "Released Parties") FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO YOU, your assigns, heirs, and next of kin FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CHARGES, LAWSUITS, DEBTS, DEFENSES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF SERVICE, COMPENSATION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, ATTORNEYS' FEES, AND COST AND EXPENSES OF SUIT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PURCHASE, ACQUISITION, RENTAL, POSSESSION AND/OR USAGE, AND/OR THE INTENT TO PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, RENT, POSSESS AND/OR USE, THE ASSASSIN'S CREED UNITY VIDEO GAME AND/OR THE ASSASSIN'S CREED UNITY SEASON PASS ON ANY AND ALL PLATFORMS, AND/OR RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.
