I'm wandering if Terraria 2 might not end up getting lost with games like Starbound already in the mix, showing a megaton of progress and added content and scenarios versus what Terraria offers, even after the big content updates.

I know this isn't a solution but it's a pity we need a professional lawyer to read a paper everyone signs up daily if they play new games or sign up in places and such. I think a good come back here is that a group highly technically skilled programmers and some law people could create an analsysis tool that would swallow up regular EULAs and then spit out what they mean in laymans terms, perhaps more would be indicated to read especially if the specific area they talk about would be catagorized by their relevance of control from the company they give up rights too (like red warning when they take the right to suspend your account at their discretion without a reason).

True but in this case I was thinking that you could make an exception for games you really want so the amount of games needed to keep track off is minimal.

How rude of them. I wonder if that is supposed to be read as "I'm not allowed to talk about it" or "I don't know or care but I can't do anything about it."

I see the problem now but as long as you have a choice to play, it shouldn't matter too much right? For example I like the combat in Terraria because I'm not much of a creative person so I draw inspiration to build seamingly into and around how combat is phased (and I suppose throw in role playing there as well). But even if I like the combat I choose most oftenly to play softcore so it's barely a challenge since death doesn't do anything other than dropping gold (mediumcore drops all inventory and hardcore is permadeath).

Then again I began to play Terraria when 1.1 was released right after 1.1 was released so I never played in the beginning when there were little amount of content and it was more sandboxing than adventure and the same with Minecraft, I can't recall the version but the first time I tried it was late 2012 so long after initial release with minimal adventure content.

You're right but hopefully they will take their time to actually make the game different, I doubt it would be wise to create Terraria 2 without actual differences in the engine and give it more capabilities other than some extra items, a different graphic set or perhaps an added multiplayer mode.

Aside from Nirth's comment in this very thread, which was easy to address, I actually haven't found that to be a problem. I guess I'm just lucky with who I've run into.

I generally don't like to argue so, If I did run into people who fought that hard, I'd probably just shut down the argument by standing firm on the point that, just as I have no right to DRM-free games, they have no right to my money and I've chosen to spend it elsewhere.

Reliable, general analysis of written English is the same kind of difficult as computer vision. Computer vision is hard enough that we have CAPTCHAs. The ideal solution would be to make the license out of modular blocks.

Each block would be a chunk of legalese and an approved summary. The authoritative coup of the license itself would be a list of blocks that could be rendered as either the summary or the legalese.

...of course, that would turn the system on its head, so it's not going to happen.

Except that a "no exceptions" policy on DRM is how I get my "holier than thou" fix in a harmless way while ignoring the EULA is like ignoring that guy on the street corner who's swearing at passing cars as you drive by. (He has a right to free speech in public places, but what he does with it causes everyone to ignore him.)

If I make exceptions, I lose the moral high ground and I value that more than the enjoyment of playing some random game.

That's the problem. You don't have a choice. Defeating one of the bosses permanently enables Hard Mode (which, among other things, makes corruption spread beyond the sunflowers) and you need to defeat that boss to get access to higher-level items and progress further in the game.
