They’d be hard-pressed to make that case in Germany (or the EU actually, as they took our laws in that regard), the EULA has to follow the pretty strict regulations for AGBs which also can’t contain surprising clauses.

This is only for B2C though.

Doesn't matter if that doesn't hold in court. The whole problem is that loosing in court has no cost for them, but just going to court is a net loss for you.

That depends on the country; losing in court could have the cost of your legal fees for them in some countries.

Again, doesn't matter. Ruling takes years. If you take $40k from me to give them back to me 7 years later, I'm still screwed. Not to mention time, energy, stress, uncertainty, and the lost of opportunity.

It's all cost for me, none for them, just to make them behave decently in the first place.
