However, this EULA below gets installed from the retail CDs. There was a big deal (tm) a number of years ago when they realized the "old" EULA was in a click through on the retail installers and the new one was actually installed after the fact. But this in fact, the actual EULA. The Gametap installer and readme also have this EULA.
Please note the "friends" clause is absent from this version.
