Babylon Update: November 5th, 2019
Cassiopeia Update: TBD


EULA and NOT a “Use” license seems like the appropriate choice for our type of game.


COPPA Language

“The Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that you collect information and interact with children differently than you would with adult users. Unless you have a way to keep your game completely age-restricted, you must address this issue.”

Language should be encompassing enough due to the fact that the game is definitely not targeted at children - no part of the game, art or gameplay, in my opinion, implies that the company is directing efforts towards children.
