All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by Company.

2.No Warranty. You are responsible for assessing your own computer and the results to be obtained therefrom. You expressly agree that use of the Program is at your sole risk. The Program is provided on an "as is," "as available" basis, unless such warranties are legally incapable of exclusion. Company and its licensors disclaim all warranties and conditions, whether oral or written, express, or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights, and those arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade, regarding the Program. Company and its licensors assume no responsibility for any damages suffered by you, including, but not limited to, loss of data, items or other materials from errors or other malfunctions caused by Company, its licensors, licensee and/or subcontractors, or by your or any other participant's own errors and/or omissions. Company and its licensors make no warranty with respect to any related software or hardware used or provided by Company in connection with the Program except as expressly set forth above.

Except as expressly provided herein, Company's and its licensors' entire liability to you and your exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement is limited solely to the total amount paid by you for the Program, if any. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, in such states Company's and its licensors' liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

4.Indemnity. At Company's request, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company, its affiliates and licensors from all damages, losses, liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising directly or indirectly from your acts and omissions to act in using the Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement by you.

In such event, you must destroy all copies of the Program and all of its component parts.

7.General Provisions. Company's failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter.

Nasty. As our esteemed colleague here notes, this is basically an anti-streamer clause.

Equitable remedies are a legal concept with a lot of history etc etc but basically they allow a court to impose remedies it considers "fair and just" rather than just those laid down by statute. This paragraph tries to automatically make a user agree that they are liable for equitable damages and remedies as well as contractual ones, which would include consequential losses, injunctions, and so on. To put that more simply, it means the user agrees to be subject to more penalties than merely those for breach of contract. Which would include injunctions to stop things not covered by the contract. (like, say, a pesky Twitch channel).

So CIG could sue a backer with a current account who has signed up for these terms, file for an injunction to stop them uploading videos or posting or whatever, and then even try to claim damages based on their estimate of how much damage the streamer has done to their brand.

They can then tell the court the defendant has already agreed to the TOS and this is just an action to enforce those terms, rather than get into the whole business of proving damage. Checkmate goonie.

It's a nasty little line, and it speaks volumes that CIG would put this in. This is aimed squarely at people like PGabz and Beer and FTR, all of whom need an account to embarrass CIG and would therefore have to agree to these terms to continue making videos.

It's really cringeworthy how many times they repeat small variations on the "we are doing what's never been done" line in the office tour part of the stream. It's just a game. It's ok to have the BDSSE as a goal and a vision. It's ok to want to make a really good game - or wanting to raise the bar when it comes to story, cutscenes, cinematic feel, graphics, atmosphere, or some other actual aspect of games. But that's not what they're saying. It's nebulous things like "ambition", "scale" and "fidelity".

As a gamer I never feel like they're trying to sell me on how great or unique this game will be to play. They are actually pretty vague on what the two games actually are. Instead, I feel like they are trying to sell me the grandeur of their vision, on how lofty their goals are and how this is being made by the best of the best, from developers to A-list actors. Where's the passion for the game?

Perhaps this is why it appeals to people who aren't gamers. They're marketing the company and the process. Look at us! We're Mr. Meeseeks! If anyone can bring your personal fantasy of a game to life, it's us!

I guess that's why there is so little game, despite all the money. Even with an engine not suited for this kind of game, even with poor architectural decisions, even with the challenge of building the game while backers are playing it, there should be more content, more mechanics, more stuff. Even after spending massive amounts of time and money on mocap, A-listers, etc. there should be more stuff.

But I don't think they have anyone in charge who wants to make an actual game. Chris wants to make a movie, and obviously relies on his underlings to put some gamey bits between his scenes. I imagine him being bitter at giving his developers the second-biggest budget ever, an amazing story, A-list actors, loyal fans, everything developers could want! And then they deliver this travesty? Can't they see how they're repaying his generosity by making him the butt of jokes? Why can't they do proper graphics, proper animations, proper gamey bits? He's even personally making sure everything has the right fidelity. And still they fail!

So there's noone making a game, just a legion of developers trying to avoid the wrath of Chris, who himself is furious that his grand vision is being ruined by incompetent production staff, while he and the marketing brass has to work so hard to keep the trust of (and continued funding from) backers. And by this point the only backers left who will continue to buy more stuff are those who aren't looking for a game, but a second life, a place to belong or a noble cause to support.
