STORMFORGE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Effective Date: November 10, 2026
We've kept this short and in plain English. This agreement covers Stormforge on Steam, including Early Access and later releases, and all free playtests, betas, and demos of Stormforge, now and in the future. In this agreement, a "Test Version" means only a free playtest, beta, or demo. By clicking "I Agree," or by installing or playing Stormforge or a Test Version, you agree to these terms. If you authorize a person or an automated agent to accept this agreement for you, you are bound by it as far as the law allows.
1 WHO WE ARE
Roboto Games, Inc. ("Roboto," "we"), a Delaware corporation, PO Box 88, San Mateo, CA 94401. Contact: support@robotogames.com.
2 YOUR LICENSE
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and play Stormforge through Steam for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to this agreement. Sections 5 and 6 also allow commercial server hosting and earning money from your streams and videos as described there. Stormforge is licensed to you, not sold, and your license ends only as described in sections 4 and 9. Your license covers only the uses this agreement allows. Copying, adapting, or distributing Stormforge's code, assets, or audio-visual content in a way that section 7 or 9 prohibits is outside the scope of your license and is not licensed, subject to applicable law. Suspension or termination is still governed by sections 4 and 9. Purchases, refunds, and your Steam account are handled by Valve under the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Steam's refund policy.
3 EARLY ACCESS
Stormforge is in Early Access, which means we are still building it. It will have bugs, missing features, and rough edges, as described on our Steam store page. Apart from rights you have under consumer protection law, it is provided "AS IS." We will keep updating it at no extra cost to you to fix bugs, improve performance and compatibility, balance gameplay, and add or rework features, and as part of that work updates may change or remove content, subject to any notice, cancellation, or refund rights required by law. We work to keep your worlds and characters working across updates, but during Early Access an update may occasionally require a reset.
4 PLAYTESTS, BETAS, AND DEMOS
Test Versions are free and are works in progress, provided "AS IS," without warranties of any kind. Your progress, characters, worlds, and saves in a Test Version may be changed, reset, or deleted at any time, and nothing carries over between Test Versions or into the full game unless we say otherwise. We may modify, suspend, or end any Test Version, or revoke access, at any time for any reason. Playing a Test Version does not entitle you to the full game. If we designate a Test Version as private, or if you accepted a separate confidentiality agreement to join it (for example, through our private playtest program), you may not stream, record, share, or discuss that Test Version until we make it public or tell you otherwise, and that confidentiality agreement controls if it conflicts with this agreement.
5 SERVERS AND HOSTING
You may host Stormforge worlds for other players, on your own PC or on a dedicated server, yourself or through a server hosting company. Hosting companies may charge for hosting, but every player still needs their own copy of Stormforge, and no one may charge players for in-game items or advantages. Whoever runs a server is responsible for it, including who can join and how it is moderated. We do not operate or control servers run by players or hosting companies, and we are not responsible for them. Any dedicated server software we provide is licensed to you under this agreement.
6 STREAMING AND VIDEOS
You are welcome to stream Stormforge and public Test Versions, make videos, post screenshots, and talk about them, as described in our Streaming and Content Policy at robotogames.com/streaming. That permission is for sharing with people. It does not include, and you may not grant to any platform or other third party, any right to use footage of Stormforge or data from it to train, develop, or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine-learning models, tools, or technology. No license you grant to any platform or service for your uploads includes, or is capable of conveying, AI or machine-learning training rights in the underlying game content.
7 AI TRAINING AND DATA EXTRACTION
You may not use Stormforge, or any audio-visual output, recordings, or data derived from it, to train, develop, or evaluate any artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, tool, or technology, or to create or distribute any dataset for those purposes, without our prior written permission. This covers any machine learning or AI system, including systems that generate images, video, audio, 3D assets, levels, or gameplay, systems that learn to play games, and world models or simulators, and it covers fine tuning, testing, benchmarking, and distillation. For those purposes, this includes (a) using bots or automated play to play or capture Stormforge, (b) extracting render buffers, memory, network traffic, or game-state data such as positions, inputs, events, and scores, and (c) scraping or bulk collecting footage, screenshots, or data about Stormforge from any website, store page, or video or streaming platform. You also may not sell, license, or give anyone, for those purposes, (a) access to your account, (b) recordings, replays, screenshots, logs, or other captures of Stormforge, or (c) any tool or service that does what this section prohibits, and you may not ask, pay, or help anyone else to do so. This section does not stop you from using accessibility tools, permitted mods, or ordinary capture and editing tools, as long as Stormforge content is not used for those AI or dataset purposes. Nothing in this section limits the streaming, videos, and screenshots allowed under section 6. We reserve all rights not granted in this agreement. To the extent the law allows, we also reserve our rights under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 over text and data mining of Stormforge, its audio-visual output, and content we own on our websites and store pages. This reservation does not limit exceptions that the law makes mandatory. If you break this section, then on our written request you must (a) stop the use, (b) delete the material you collected or created in breach of this section from systems and datasets you control (you do not have to delete your game installation or anything you keep only for uses this agreement allows), (c) stop any prohibited evaluation, and stop using any model you control that was trained or fine tuned with that material unless you retrain it without that material, and (d) tell us in writing what you used and who received it. We may also ask a court for an injunction and for any damages the law allows, which can include a reasonable license fee for the use.
8 GAMEPLAY DATA
While you play, the game sends us gameplay analytics (when a play session starts and ends, and which quests you start and complete), technical data (operating system, device model, CPU, GPU, memory, graphics API, and performance data such as loading times and frame rate), your Steam ID, your country, and crash and error reports. You can turn off gameplay analytics in the game's settings. We use this data to improve the game, and we do not sell it. If you join a world hosted by another player or a hosting company, that host receives your Steam name and the connection details needed to play. Details, including your choices and rights, are at https://playstormforge.com/privacy.
9 FAIR PLAY AND PROTECTING THE GAME
Do not cheat, exploit, use unauthorized programs, disrupt other players' experience, or harass anyone. Whatever your purpose, do not (a) use bots, scripts, or other automated means to disrupt other players, get around access restrictions, collect material for purposes that section 7 prohibits, or access our online services without permission, (b) use fake, shared, or multiple accounts, or switch IP addresses or devices, to collect content or get around our limits or detection, (c) get around any encryption, access control, or other technical protection in Stormforge or our online services, or (d) collect personal information about other players, except as reasonably needed for playing, hosting, moderating, or making content allowed under section 6, and only as privacy law allows. Do not sell, rent, or distribute copies of Stormforge. Do not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer Stormforge, or extract or reproduce its code, assets, or data, by any means, including with AI or other automated tools. Do not use Stormforge, its code, assets, or data, or anything obtained from them, as input to any AI tool to create a copy, port, or substantially similar version of Stormforge or any part of it, or any other game or product that uses its code or assets. The restrictions in this section do not prohibit installing and playing Stormforge as this agreement allows, hosting under section 5, content allowed under section 6 (including recording or streaming software you run for your own play), accessibility tools allowed under section 7, mods under section 11 (including translation mods), or anything applicable law allows despite these restrictions. Stormforge does not install anti-cheat software on your PC. We may suspend or end the license of anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaks this agreement. We will not end your license to a paid copy of Stormforge just because we stop developing or supporting it. Any suspension or termination is subject to your rights under applicable law, including any right to a refund.
10 YOUR FEEDBACK
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or bug reports, you grant Roboto a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use them for any purpose, without compensation or attribution. This lets us use your suggestions to improve the game.
11 THINGS YOU CREATE, INCLUDING MODS
You own original content you create in or about Stormforge, including mods. You grant Roboto a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display it in connection with Stormforge. We keep ownership of our code, assets, and other intellectual property included in your content, and you keep ownership of your original contributions. You may share mods for free, but you may not sell or charge for content made with our assets or tools without our prior written consent. This does not limit earning money from streams and videos as our Streaming and Content Policy allows. A mod may use our code only as far as needed to work with Stormforge, and may not include or redistribute substantial parts of our code or assets.
12 ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and have a Steam account in good standing. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must review and accept these terms for you.
13 CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
If we make material changes, we will give prominent advance notice, such as a Steam announcement or an in-game notice, with an effective date, and Steam will ask you to accept the updated terms before you next play. Minor changes take effect when posted.
14 GENERAL LEGAL TERMS
To the extent the law allows, Roboto's total liability to you arising from this agreement, Stormforge, or any Test Version will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for Stormforge through Steam or fifty US dollars ($50). This limit does not apply to fraud, to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or to any other liability the law does not allow us to limit. Nothing in this agreement limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by agreement, including in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, and 14 continue after your license ends and keep applying to any copy of Stormforge and to any recordings, data, or other material you obtained while you had a license. You will comply with the Steam Subscriber Agreement; where these terms conflict with the Roboto Games Terms of Service (robotogames.com/terms), these terms control for Stormforge. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. If you have a problem, please email support@robotogames.com first. We will try in good faith to resolve it with you within 30 days before either party files any claim, but either party may seek urgent relief or file a claim to meet a legal deadline. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts of the Northern District of California, and, to the extent the law allows, you and Roboto each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity (not as a class member) and waive the right to a jury trial. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court instead. If you live in a country whose law gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts or under your local law, nothing in this section takes that right away.
