Is it legal to revoke the purchased license just because I don't use it in a while?

something like: "we can revoke a lisence at any time for any reason" buried in the EULA

Let's say they decide to revoke a game I newly purchased for no reasons. Shouldn't that be illegal even tho the EULA says they can do it? If so, where do we draw the line?

It’s going to take a court case to iron this shit out. It’s coming.

They can revoke the license whenever, but you can sue them for it. Whatever illegal garbage is written in the EULA won't hold up in court.
