Fine Print Says Game Store Owns Your Soul
mr_sifter writes "UK games retailer GameStation revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of customers, thanks to a clause it secretly added to the online terms and conditions for its website. The 'Immortal Soul Clause' was added as part of an attempt to highlight how few customers read the terms and conditions of an online sale. GameStation claims that 88 percent of customers did not read the clause, which gives legal ownership of the customer's soul over to the UK-based games retailer. The remaining 12 percent of customers however did notice the clause and clicked the relevant opt-out box, netting themselves a £5 GBP gift voucher in the process."
Contracts for imaginary property are enforceable, so why not?
As apposed to today's age where people think the physical universe just created itself from thin air one day.
Ah... the great irony of our age. The dumbest group of people Earth has known continually telling themselves how uber intelligent they are.
You might want to grab a 3rd grade science book and learn why the physical universe could not possibly have created itself. That whole matter is never created or destroyed thing gets into the way of your "just came to be from nothing" theory of utter stupidity.
