How is SOM different (or not different) from what people do with PC games (mods)

And since when can you not sell you game with SOM's game.exe file?

You know as well as I do. You just aren't being honest to yourself.

SoM's EULA

And where does that say you cannot distribute your King's Field game? Plus this is a translation. It doesn't say anything about not selling your game either. Selling fan mad stuff is common in Japan. Never mind this is the same disclaimer you'll find on every single piece of software. It isn't a document outlining what you can do with the games you make with SOM. If you own a copy of SOM you can make a game and distribute it. And From says this contract is only enforceable for Japanese residents. Foreigners enjoy no restrictions. And are not forbidden to own a copy of SOM by way of a Japanese reseller.

The game.exe file is part of the runtime. It isn't part of SOM. Not being honest huh?
