How dare users have control of their own hardware!

    Silly consumer, you don’t own anything! You’ll take your license and follow these terms.

    The licence over 100 pages long, with deliberately convoluted language no one ever expects you to read. Some services even block you from accepting if you haven't scrolled to the end, but then most give a "Skip to bottom" button!

    And since most EULAs are not grounded in reality and as such unworkable, they're pretty much just a scare tactic.

    tbf, most Consoles sold at a Loss, so Consoles would have to become more expensive if that wasn't the case.

    Just join the PC Masterrace

    I'd rather pay more money for a freer system but that option isn't offered. Either I'm too niche or locking users down is more valuable than raw sales profit (or both).

    I've not bought a console since they got internet and needed updates. Been Windows-free for a while too.
