This is the single most twisted piece of non-logic I have heard in my 54 years on this planet.

Honestly son, did you read you own post?

Yes boy, I did. I live in Germany and Laws are different than maybe were you live. That means I can not scare away customers or harras the customers. Regardless of my opinion of that company or not. Now, I am not saying that they WILL do that. It is just possible.

BTW, if I remember correctly, the EULA say "publisher" and not Oleg Maddox. So the software belongs to UBISOFT and no longer to Oleg Maddox. That is normal. Maddox games made the program for Ubisoft. I am sure that the fine print on the contract says that the intellectual property is owned by Ubisoft and not Maddox games. That is normal practice on the software branch. I may make the program, but normaly it is owned by the money givers. Why do you think it is published so strange. It is possible that Maddox Games has the say-so in Russia and were they publish it. But I think in the rest of the world it is Ubi.

You know EL, in every country the laws are different. What is a crime were you live, may not be a crime were I live.
