Nope, and that is their masterful plan. Nobody will/wants to read it, so when a problem occurs, they can just simply point to the License Agreement. Gotta love it.

No one wants to read the License Agreement when you can just scroll down and accept.

Plus even if you did read it and found something unfair, you're still fucked since you can't install the game without accepting their terms of agreement.

Occasionally I'll glace through a EULA just to make sure there's nothing really weird.  Usually I do this more for freeware applications on PC.

Almost all the stuff mentioned in the EULA is common sense and procedural stuff which is almost the same in every EULA. So unless your a retard who likes doing things to get into trouble, I think you can get away with not reading it.

you know, i was dared to read the entire dictionary once by my friend..

Nope. But a friend of mine said the World of Warcraft license agreement stated that it has ownership over your soul if you'd agree to it. I don't know if it's true or not since I never bothered to check.

Who reads the agreements for anything? I've tried a couple of times to at least skim a couple of em, but never read much.

Yeah, it's a very Blizzard thing to do. It's quite ironic and amusing that it sort of has in a way.

I still, to this day, remember it well

Nope. I recall reading an article that some game had a reward in it. It was some where in the middle and it said something along the line of "If you are reading this and are the first to call this number 555-555-5555 BEFORE x/x/xx we will give you $10,000!". The deal was real and it was only on for like the first 5 or 6 months after the game came out but no one read it so no one won the money. I would have shit kittens if that was the one EULAi tired to skim through and i found it.

no, i never read it. it is usually the same thing on every terms. i kind of wish they just made it like a paragraph. 
 
i remember back in the day of G4 it was either the screen savers or attack of the show, sarah showed a program that u copied the terms of use and past it into the program. the program pretty much summarized the license agreement in a couple of sentences.

Truth.
 
 
I tried once. I got half way through it and then realized that I was wasting my time.

I skim through license agreements on occasion. I've read the license agreement for Steam pretty thoroughly.
 
If you want an easy way to get the gist of an EULA to see if there's anything really weird in there, try out EULAlyzer.

Nope, because if I've bought the game already, I am willing to put up with whatever invasion of my privacy that comes along with it.

I already payed for it. I'm not gonna waste 60$ on not accepting an agreement.
 
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to add: No, so there's no point in reading anyway.
