    If they had to write “lifetime means 2 years (or whenever we feel like it)” in big letters above the works “buy” or “purchase” it may affect their “sales”. They can write whatever they want in small print, they shouldn’t have told customers it was buying.

      they want in small print,

      Nope, not in EU they can’t. And pressing a button that says yes is not legally binding in EU, we do have actual legal precedence for that.
      Also the laws that protect consumers CANNOT ever never be put aside by any license agreement!! Any such license is ILLEGAL, and by being illegal all claims to protect the issuer of the license are illegal. While those granting consumers protections may still stand.

      Actually putting things in “small print” are more likely to void any claims than actually uphold them in a court of law.
      Remember these are also EU countries, and EU countries have actual consumer protection, it’s not like the wild west of countries like USA.
