> So let me get this straight: companies are offering a recreational product, games, on terms you don't like. [...] you want to get the government involved? For games?

That's an absurd argument, just because it's "games" it does not invalidate the argument here. Would you not raise the same concern if Apple/Google closed your account tomorrow and you lost access to all of your movies? They also count as "recreation".

Or one day, Microsoft/Apple deem your account to be causing abuse and terminate it. Your Windows license/macOS data is bound to it, and your computer is suddenly unusable because logging in returns an error. You're bound by a EULA and they're fully within their right to do this, you're just licensing the software. Would you still think "I will just not pay them money and go to someone else"?
