Let’s say they decide to revoke a game I newly purchased for no reasons. Shouldn’t that be illegal even tho the EULA says they can do it? If so, where do we draw the line?
You agreed to the terms of the lisence
(Ofc they still don’t have full control in actual legal sense, they just have it written like that so they have their freedom to choose and they might not have to provide much of a reason)
The line is wherever the company wants it like in most things because people don’t have any power (especially willpower to boycott)
I love how nintendo every couple months creates a big hassle by taking down or claiming videos and other content related to their IP and then a month later Nintendo hits a new sales record
Companies have free reign as long as people keep giving them money because no one is going to sue over a lost copy of assassin’s greed
something like: “we can revoke a lisence at any time for any reason” buried in the EULA

It’s going to take a court case to iron this shit out. It’s coming.

They will always have a reason. “Our office cat looked at it wrong”… there, a reason /s
They can revoke the license whenever, but you can sue them for it. Whatever illegal garbage is written in the EULA won’t hold up in court.
