Whatever is written in the EULA, and disregarding the fact that Gameforge France was only a subsidiary of Gameforge Germany, the question remains whether GF Germany could be held responsible for withholding information regarding the threatening bankruptcy of GF France, which must have been known to them months in advance (verivox "Kersting, Gameforge CEO: As has been planned for some time now, our subsidiary GF France went into receivership yesterday.", golem "Kersting did not really want to talk about Saga of Ryzom at the Games Convention [in August 2007]. Obviously the topic was a source of embarrassment to him, as it was the first failure in the browser game company's short history.").thlau wrote:Hmm, so are up to the task to provide exact on which part of the EULA you base your argumentation, that Gameforge France can stop to provide service, without further notice.
Not relaying that information to their paying customers might be seen as an attempt at cheating, or fraud. If there were any justice, it's my opinion that GF Germany as the holding company should be prepared to face – and lose – a lawsuit.
Had that information been public then, I wonder how many subscribers would have renewed their recurring six month subscriptions in August, and even as late as September, instead of shortening them to one-month terms.
