[BLOG] Larian Studios lawyer hides prize in Divinity EULA

Lawyers aren't generally thought of as having a sense of humour or fun, so this story while a little surprising is actually quite cool.



Upon devising the EULA for Larian Studios' game Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition the lawyer decided to run a little experiment to see how many people actually do read all of the terms before they hit the accept button. Therefore they hid this line in the text:



"16. Special Consideration. A special consideration in material or immaterial form may be awarded to the first 100 authorized licensees to actually read this section of the EULA and contact Larian Studios at info@larian.com. This offer can be withdrawn by Larian Studios at any time."



So the first 100 people who actually read this and bothered to contact the address actually got something for their trouble, being given a bunch of Larian game codes for some of the other games the studio had put out.



"Our lawyer feels good about this," the developer explained via their Facebook page. "He's also revoking the consideration because we're making him pay for every mail we get."
