<!-- Provide quote here -->The EULA contains in itself the terms for the publishers right to change said EULA retroacively:
in the first terms:<ref name=":0" /><blockquote>We reserve the right to change this agreement at any time with or without notice, with immediate and/or retroactive effect.</blockquote>since 2013-08-27:<ref name=":7" /><blockquote>The permission we give you to use and play our Game can be revoked if you break the terms of this EULA.  </blockquote>Later, for a short time, the EULA suggests not accepting updates, for thoose users who dont with to accept new EULAs.
since the first terms the publisher can change the terms:<ref name=":0" /><blockquote>We reserve the right to change this agreement at any time with or without notice, with immediate and/or retroactive effect.</blockquote>since 2013-08-27 the publisher has the right to revoke permission ot use:<ref name=":7" /> <blockquote>The permission we give you to use and play our Game can be revoked if you break the terms of this EULA.  </blockquote>2013-12 - 2023-08  the EULA suggests not accepting updates, for thoose users who dont with to accept new EULAs. :<ref name=":7" /><blockquote>We may also change this EULA from time to time but those changes will only be effective to the extent that they can legally apply. For example if you only use the Game in single player mode and don‘t use the updates we make available then the old EULA applies but if you do use the updates or use parts of the game that rely on our providing ongoing online services then the new EULA will apply. In that case we may not be able to / don‘t need to tell you about the changes for them to have effect so you should check back here from time to time so you are aware of any changes to the EULA. We‘re not going to be unfair about this though - but sometimes the law changes or someone does something that affects other users of the Game and we therefore need to put a lid on it.  </blockquote>
