Ubisoft is delisting The Crew 1 after nearly a decade, but even worse, existing owners will no longer be able to play as of March 2024.

No, I mean the EULAs that can be read for free online before you even buy the game (recent Ubisoft game for example). Or, if any proactive effort is too difficult for you, Steam will refund your full purchase as long as you have less than two hours of play time.

the best I can do is not put any time or money into an game with a killswitch

I agree. You're not entitled to the labor of others, even if those others are shitty videogame corporations. Ubisoft has the right to manage their IPs however they want.

Where does one find the EULA for a game on the shelf when they buy it at Walmart? Don't defend companies for shitty practices in need of legal reform. At least, before you resorted to namecalling the person you replied to before, you still have some argument to stand on, but this isn't being entitled to the labor of others; it's being entitled to use the thing that you bought. Their labor was already done.
