There Was a Secret Reward Hiding in Divinity: Original Sin's New EULA
There Was a Secret Reward Hiding in Divinity: Original Sin's New EULA-June 2024
Jun 19, 2025 1:44 AM

  It seems like a safe assumption to say that most people blindly agree to the End User License Agreement (or EULA for short) when installing new games without reading it. Divinity: Original Sin developer Larian Studios used the launch of the game's new Enhanced Edition to test this theory out and found that there are at least some people who do give the legalese-laden text a look.

  In a post on its Facebook page (via Quarter to Three), Larian revealed that it hid a secret in the EULA for Original Sin's Enhanced Edition to see who would find it. Under a section labeled Special Consideration read the following: "A special consideration in material or immaterial form may be awarded to the first 100 authorized licensees to actually read this section of the EULA and contact LARIAN STUDIOS at [email protected]. This offer can be withdrawn by LARIAN STUDIOS at any time."

  And indeed it has been withdrawn, as enough people discovered this to satisfy Larian's curiosity.

  "We're telling you now because the results are in and it turns out that you in fact do read these things," the studio said. "Our lawyer feels good about this."

  We don't yet know what the special consideration is that those who discovered the notice will receive. We also don't know what would drive these people to read a EULA in the first place and if they also read all of the fine print when buying simple household appliances. It's possible they cheated and used a tool to compare the text without examining it themselves, but whatever the case, we'll report back if we hear what they end up receiving.

  Original Sin's Enhanced Edition debuted on Tuesday on Xbox One and PS4, as well as on PC, where it's a free update for those who already own the game. It introduces a staggeringly high number of changes, adding controller support, a new crafting interface, voiceover for all dialogue in the game, and much more. Meanwhile, a full-on sequel is currently in the works thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.
