    Yeah, but if they terminate the EULA, doesn’t that mean we’re no longer bound by it and don’t have to uninstall the game?

      EULAs, like any contract… have to actually be reasonable legal contracts.

      This is the literal foundational mechanism of capitalism… the government enforces and adjuticates and regulates contracts.

      You can’t just have a person sign a contract with fucking ludicrous nonsense like this in it and not expect a judge in any kind of halfway functioning society to not laugh it out of court.

        Courts, at least around here, are real big on choking down corpo dick.

        I’m not optimistic about their behavior, no matter what they should do.

        Safest course is to just steal everything, since it’s no less stealing than giving them your money in the long run, but you get to have a game and play itvand it even works offline.

        Yeah, this is a bridge too far. If they try to enforce this, shit is going to hit the fan for them.

        That said, I have no intention of giving them money in the first place. The sheer hubris of this policy…
