The following obligations in EU law have to be met:
An intention by both parties to enter into legal relations
An offer by one of the parties which is capable of being accepted by the other
Acceptance of that offer by the other, and
A mutual promise by each to provide something of value to the other (known in law as 'consideration')
ALL of which are applicable to your email exchange with h4ns.
The theme is written contract and not binding agreements, but thank you for confrming that a legally binding agreement does not exist! https://www.icaew.com/archive/library/subject-gateways/law/legal-alert/2018-02/case-law-court-confirms-emails-can-create-legally-binding-contracts

1) I never had the intention to enter into legal relations.
Despite of this, donations exclude legal relations by default.
Real world legal aspects: Donations are given without return consideration.
2) I never promised anything
Game-Protect does not consider ANY transaction sent to him which he calls a donation to offer return consideration. Which means, in his eyes, if you send him money and he includes the word "donation" in any of his exchanges with you, GP feels as if there is no obligation to complete the services he may have offered.
Period.
Take that for what you will.
PS: I understand there are many threads about GP, but I want anyone (even outside of BitcoinTalk) to be able to Google Game-Protect and have the words "Do not Donate" come up. It's a sly move he makes in order to protect himself, but folks need to be aware, and I felt as if a 1 post thread would do just that.
I'll be locking this thread in order to promote further debate to be posted on the other existing GP threads.
