  • That’s not even in the scene.

    Here’s what Walter actually says:

    How are you doing?

    …mumbling…

    How are you doing?

    You did the only thing that you could, I hope you understand that.

    Any thoughts on what our next move might be?

    Our next move. Our next move. Given the fact that at the first opportunity, Gus will kill us.

    No, no, we bought ourselves some time, yes, but… The question is how much. He will be looking for another chemist.

    Are you sure you’re…

    What do you mean?

    What page is that?







  • The EULA is a wall of text that means nothing to most people, just like the TOS. The CLA (California License Agreement) or whatever this will be called with be no different, unless they specifically demand a very short and to the point.

    *"You are buying a game licence that can legally be revoked without providing a refund.

    Ubisoft can revoke the game license at any time for any reason.

    Ubisoft guarantees access to the license for 0 days."*

    I have no expectation that it will be that clear and concise.

    Edit: Looks like they have chosen not to discuss the language of the “clear expansion” at all. Likely because whoever wrote the law didn’t know the subject they’re regulating.

    From the article:

    The official phrasing in the bill’s summary reads, it will “prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand.”

    Alternatively, storefronts can clearly explain that you’re buying a license and that your purchase isn’t a permanent transaction, meaning the license can be revoked at any time by the issuer. The most important part of the bill states that passing it will be “ensuring that consumers have a full understanding of exactly what they have bought.”

    It’ll probably be a wall of text like maybe a big fat paragraph and a little vague line at the bottom, or somehow manage to be short but still vague enough to not discourage sales while just barely straddling the line of being acceptable to the Californians who might one day end up bothering to look at how this ends up going, if they don’t forget to.
