I will leave the discourse on the necessary role an end user license agreement (“EULA”) plays in the game environment for another day.[1] Instead this entry takes a quick dip into the challenges to enforcing a EULA for a game with global player base and offers a few quick suggestions for catering your EULA to address some of these pitfalls.

While the servers may be residing in the United States, players are often logging on across the globe. This creates an interesting issue: how does a company enforce a EULA when the player or third-party (such as a company creating improper mods) resides abroad?
