He thinks he can click the EULA in the games but then come to the forums and claim he's not in agreement and that will somehow magically invalidate the contract.
They want to extort agreement by denying access to the game I paid for, so no screw them, I fight for my rights, NO, i will never agree and i will click the button, deny the agreement and gain access to the game I paid for, they can eat their own reproductive organ.
Take one guess who the trolls that respond are, who they represent.
As for idiots who think it is not legal, it really depends on the laws of the country your are in. Yes in the corrupt USA corporations can screw over consumers and change contracts after the consumers have bought and paid for the product but not in most other countries.
Surely you people get the idea of how corrupt it is trying to change a contract after someone has bought the product.
Like, I can somewhat get it but the reward from doing so is so laughably bad. I, "Legit", can't understand in what country it could ever be worthwhile.
For online title you WILL have to accept the terms eventually since they are not entitled to provide a service to you. Unless they are blatantly breaking the law, in which case Steam is not exactly the best place to bring up this case.
I could go on and on but case and point is. It's like. The worst place ever to bring this up.
I'm almost impressed.
Just letting them know what I think of them and their corrupt illegal practices in my country, to mock and deride the contract changes and to troll professional gaming corporation trolls, who infest these forums, like ticks and fleas on a dying rabid dog.
I have already filed a complaint with the ACCC and if more people follow suit, the publishers will get sued and fined millions of dollars, it is illegal, so it would be as funny as can be ;DDD.
Regular folk do not defend corporations paid PR trolls do, they see the humour and a paid marketdroid just sees anti-corporation comment MUST ATTACK.
SNAP
If you want to be EULA free, heres what you are going to do:
1. turn off your PC and phone
2. throw it out of your window and never use them again.
But i bet you won't

If you look at his post history, his tantrums started right around when the GDPR went into effect.
Basically his complaint is they "changed" the EULA after he owned some games. He's either unaware or unwilling to understand that the GDPR changes were a legal requirement for all games that have an online component, they either needed to explain what data they collect and make it clear up front, or they have to shut down and no longer operate online.
Funny thing is in 99% of the games he could be complaining about, nothing was actually changed in the EULA, they were simply made more visible (as required by law) and with the additional function that:
If you request that they delete your stored data, they must comply (though you can no longer play if you request this), but that function didn't exist prior to GDPR.
For anyone that actually understands the GDPR, it really didn't change anything about how games/websites/servers operate from a user side other than making us have to actually click on the EULA before playing instead of it being buried deep in a menu. On a function side, this is the same data they've always collected for the sake of being able to operate the game at all.
You're complaining about a law that was put in place to inform you of data that was always being collected but wasn't previously disclosed up front
Nothings changed other than you were informed that they must collect data to allow you to be online.

You've spent years whining over something you don't even understand and didn't bother to look up

These regulations are mandatory or they can't even have servers or be online
"BUT, it works on my computer, yours must be broken",when it it the game that is broken, paid corporate trolls do that on purpose to prevent a negative image about their game, tough luck the time and money that customers spends trying to fix an unbroken computer and Valve KNOWS THIS IS TRUE and does not stop it.
