7,500 people accepted a license agreeing to sell their immortal soul to GameStation. I rather like the terms of the license, especially the bit about the 6' high flaming letters.

In a side-note, when we did our recent software release, I inquired of our lawyers as to whether I could set the license in mixed case; I was informed (slightly apologetically) that upper case actually has legal status. It's related to the requirement to "call out" or "draw attention" to certain passages, and in text, upper case is the established way to do that.
