Then read the EULA and don’t purchase if it mentions the platform can revoke the access to your account.

Bad news! You’re stuck playing console games that have physical copies!

One of the many aspects of the problem is that this is an infringement on consumer rights. Not currently illegal, but only because the consumer protection aspects of the US have been ground down to nearly nothing.

I think the gist of this meme is that restrictive DRM and piracy are both in a similar ballpark of morally wrong, but only one is illegal because the rich own the courts.

Is it an infringement on your rights when you go to a theater and they charge you to see a movie which you won’t own after it’s finished?

No, because you’re not purchasing a copy of the movie. You’re purchasing a one time viewing. And that’s a very clearly laid out term of the sale.
