Since the EULA was the one thing downloaded from their servers, they could have easily make it permit this specific hack.
Though it really seems weird to me that someone thinks of the necessity of maybe updating the EULA later (and making it a download from a server to allow that) but not of the necessity of updating the software itself.
- rebuilder 6y agoMaybe usual "we reserve the right to change these terms without notice" clause in the EULA? Although it's a pretty nutty jurisdiction where that is legal.
- Jare 6y ago> not of the necessity of updating the software itself. *Disclaimer: I don't know the specifics of this case. That said... I don't think game developers are supposed or allowed to update console games directly, without going through the update and approval process by the console manufacturer. And this game was on PS2, which didn't have permanent storage at launch; PS2 games were generally not updateable. The optional HDD that came out later (see [1]). This title most likely did not require it, but even if it did, I doubt Sony had prepared a strategy for official game updates yet.
