    Bonus rant: the webpage is one of those death row worthy websites that forces you into the localization it determines based on your IP address, rather than using the HTTP header that has been specifically defined for that purpose.

      The header defines the language, but laws follow political borders, so it makes sense. E.g. which country’s eula would you show for a German speaker Germany, Austria or Switzerland?

          I have my locales set on en-UK because I prefer to have English versions, easier to troubleshoot problems

          I wish I could set it as en-FR for other things, like metric system and 24h clock, but you can’t

    I bet you could argue in court that the EULA is null and void, because you can’t be reasonably expected to copy that link into a browser to read it

        The site at the end of that URL will set a cookie. How else would such a mechanism be functional at all? A call to steams naviagtionTiming api confirming the last page load and nothing else at all? Hard to imagine a product manager agreeing to such a pointless exchange. So it cant be redirected to an ip, which I assume you mean is running its own webserver on loopback:443. It also implies the mechanism to verify allows cross site scripting, at least to that one other domain.
