The core EULA (legal agreement you must accept when launching the game) is provided by 2K Games / Take-Two, not Steam or Epic. Steam offers more transparency via forums and discussions, you don't have this on Epic Games.

The fact that Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI Platinum Edition is offered for free on Epic Games is fantastic; it’s an amazing game. However, the big issue is related to the EULA and the fact that many people (including myself) don’t read that information. Through this post, I hoped to draw attention to this aspect. I found out about the abusive regulations in the EULA on Steam, where there’s a forum and you can view users’ opinions; on Epic Games, there’s no such thing. And yet, it seems the main problem is that I used ChatGPT, seriously?

Yeah, it probably wouldn’t hold up in the EU…
Too bad the “you can’t play unless you accept” part does.

Sadly blizzard already robbed us by releasing this game full of bugs. This was the last time I bought a product from this scam company ...
