Like a 99 year license?

Or maybe demos can be canned because people can just try and then sell it again if they don't like the game (as there's no using effect which would reduce the software's value)?

when it comes to these things lawyers are unfortunately very creative :(

Lawyers are creative but judges are also usually pretty smart. They're quite capable of ruling that "if it looks like a sale and it acts like a sale, it's a sale" even if it's structured as a license.

Which is why the EU has legislation governing consumer contracts, requiring that the contract be written in plain language etc.
