This post is about fake propaganda in present times.
Hello pandas! I´m so exited because this is my first post here ever, and have been watching this website for quite some time.
Very often I find the need to comment and make an account. Today is the day.
I love how bored panda allows people to express creativity, interesting topics and many more things.
I don´t care or expect this to go to the upfront, but I will still just leave this here in case someone finds this interesting.
This post its about fake propaganda regarding gaming industry and the fact that you must always read the EULA.
I just want people to be aware of this important fact, because as players, we normally dont read what EULA says and even less our Parents when it comes to video games in most cases.
This might be the reason behind your unexplanaible missing money in you bank account, as this problem might refer to all the games that you haven´t properly read.
This is the first time that something like this happens to me, showing the importance of reading EULA´s in the present time, even if you are not a gamer as the only fact of having childs who use computer games makes you an eventual target.
Quoted from a game EULA to show as example
´´(b) Periodic Payments Related to Accounts, Service and Content – ´´insert company name here´´ may, in its reasonable discretion, require You to pay to establish or maintain any Account, to use any Service or to use any Content. You acknowledge that if You are required to do so, but do not, then ´´insert company name here´´ may terminate Your Account under Section 3(b).

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, AND FURTHER AGREE, THAT ´´insert company name here´´ MAY, IN ITS REASONABLE DISCRETION, TERMINATE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3(b) ANY ACCOUNT RELATED TO ANY ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN A REFUND OF ANY PAYMENTS, WHETHER SUCH ATTEMPTS ARE MADE BY CONTACTING AN ISSUER OF CREDIT CARDS OR OTHERWISE, AND THAT ´´insert company name here´´ MAY TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RECOURSE BY WAY OF ANY COLLECTION AGENCY AND/OR CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY WHEN A REFUND HAS BEEN OBTAINED WITHOUT SIGNED WRITTEN CONSENT FROM A LEGALLY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF ´´insert company name here´´.
Very cleaver lawyers, aren´t they?
