[FREE] ESTRANGED: ACT I AND ACT II

i meant the other topic that announced this.

?

you're right section it's on part 7C but valve provide access to games made by others. ( Yeah they made some like Half life for example but compared to what they offer.)
So I do understand that you can't guarantee a game is virus-free if you haven't wrote it but when you're the author you should know what's in your book. Editor might not but the author should have full responsibility. Same goes for games.

Well, Valve can scan the apps (most likely they do that already), but there are ways to deliver malicious code without waving a big red flag, so in practice it can be next to impossible to make a guarantee that a software is 100% free from malicious code, which can be legally described as a 'virus'.

If Valve made such a guarantee, and weren't able to make good on that promise, they could be held legally responsible; if someone was pissed off enough, and had enough time and money on their hands, the consequences for Valve could turn out to be very costly, especially in places like the USA.

I'm not saying this is a great state of affairs or that Valve should be excused: they should strive to do their best to ensure they're distributing safe code. However the technical and legal realities of the world we live in are less than ideal, so if you went looking at similar ToS and EULA documents, I doubt you will find anybody making clear-cut, definitive assurances that the software they're selling is free from malicious code.

Hell, for software licensing, it's standard practice to avoid making any promise that the software will perform the intended functions.

Exact. They discharge themselves for any responsibility in the case there is a virus or data leakage...
