I’m only asking this because I want to extract a sound file that asuran golems play when they’re “booting up”.

The one that goes “Good morning, bonjour, good morning”.

The reason why is because I want to use that as my Windows start-up sound.

If we’re not allowed, is there any way for the devs to release that sound file online for the public?

All proprietary software doesn’t allow it. I haven’t seen any game company allowing it either. But, they wouldn’t know you did it if you don’t tell anyone yourself, but since you already posted that here to ask – well, now they have an idea you’re going to do something that isn’t allowed as far as ToS/EULA is concerned.

:)

Now, will they bother? Maybe not, maybe yes. That I can not answer.

I wouldn’t risk it in the first place, as I have no idea about their file check system.

As much as I’d like to have it, it’s not much of a loss if I don’t, so I didn’t mind wanting to post this question instead of breaking the ToS anyway. It’s not like I’d think it’s worth the effort to do it against the ToS if they said no.

It’s why I ask if it could be released to the public instead.

True, they might have some detector or something. Although if they do have, they’ll get plenty of attention soon (people hate such hidden detectors).

You can search tho, I’m sure there are those who already extracted it (people love to see what’s inside).
