===EULA===

This EULA indicates that:<ref>[https://archive.ph/FenCH "Bandai Namco End User License Agreement"] - archive.ph - archived 2025-02-03</ref>

#You have not purchased the game or a copy of the game.

#You have no ownership of the copy of the game.

#You have been granted a license to use the game, in the dedicated hardware.

#You don t have the right to any refund in any case.

#You don't have the right to any refund in any case.

#This license can be revoked in any time by any of the parties.

#You are obligated by law to destroy any copy of the game you purchased if the license is revoked.

===Why this is negative for the consumer===

Practices like this erode consumer ownership. They are part of the ''you will own nothing'' narrative that companies are now trying to push. This goes directly against consumers' interests as it removes the consumer's authority over its property.
