not only this, but playing in a cup, and winning prize money is also forbidden!

So if someone use this game while streaming, and making money from ads & donations, they are breaking the EULA?
Yes, that is indeed true. They might choose not to apply that logic but this would mean that if the game ever picked up in popularity you could not have full time streamers or professional commentators because their income would not be strictly legal and hence unreliable. That clause needs changing.

That is very weird indeed. I don’t understand why they come up with that line with all the twitch stuff nowadays.
Though, I’m streaming but not making any money, so I guess I’m not breaking any rules yet :eek:… :’(

It seems pretty standard to me. I’d wager the EULA is possibly out of date or they are intentionally leaving that part vague so they can allow things at their discretion. For example, they would have legal grounds if somebody took the soundtrack and tried to monetize it on Youtube or a music streaming service without permission which would be covered in the EULA. And it allows them to change their stance, if they wanted to, in the future on content production and how it’s monetized. They most likely never would change their stance but it would still be an option since the EULA is pretty broad.
I’d wager that most developers/publishers have similar vague wording in their EULA’s that allows them a lot of freedom to interpret and make allowances where they see fit.

“They’re not wrong, they’re just assholes” 
It’s their right that they created(yaya SD did not Nexon but Nexon owns the rights I guess) something and don’t want others to make money over it. For some reason people think that ‘because its games its different’ but when it’s about legal terms it’s the same as me putting a full version of Lord of the Rings movie on youtube and talking over it in my own commentary. That said, it’s still a dick move if they go full moneygrab on youtubers but from how they’ve handled marketing with youtubers/streamers/etc I doubt they will and they understand it promotes their game = more players = more gain.
