I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.

Just thinking

What are your ideas on how this could actually be implemented?

    Where the above definition contains multiple legal entities, all are
    subject to these terms, including the sections regarding termination.
    [This is to avoid the situation in which a company creates a legal entity
    specifically for the purpose of entering into these terms while insulating
    the rest of the company from their effect.]

    YOUR is the possessive or adjective form of YOU.

      …

      [3.2] a) The end-user revenue through all legal entities defined as YOU
      exceeds USD$5 Million per YEAR. …

      This has not yet been subject to legal review, and of course may change when it does.

      Thanks
