You're comparing apples with explosive birefringence here. I pay a fee to the state to register my drivers license after having taken my driving test, which covers taxes, administrative costs, etc. Maintaining said license is dependent upon my following the assorted legalities set forth by my elected legislature. If I break those laws then yes, I can have my license revoked. I can go to court to
I pay a business for a video game as a consumer, except I am being 'licensed' to use it. The 'license' they put forth will often claim they have a right to revoke the license without warning at their will, as is stated in Ubisoft's EULA here, and I have no recourse... I am forced to agree not to hold Ubisoft liable in the contract they put forth that I have not signed. I can't see this contract until I've opened the game, at which point it is difficult and sometimes impossible to return it.
Do you see the difference there? I certainly hope so.

Of cause i see the difference.
But you can return the product to ubisoft within 30 day if you do not agree to the EULA.
So if you buy the product, take it home and open it, go to install but decide you dont agree to the EULA. You can click cancel to the install and return the product.
And not everything in the EULA would hold up in court. Its a legal grey area.
