Nor does the fact that some people don't like or agree with those
terms automatically make them wrong. Every single player explicitly
agrees to the terms before they can play. Nothing is compelling anyone
to play, and WoW is certainly not a necessity to any human or
constitutional rights. Anyone who stands on a soapbox screaming "The
EULA is wrong", and yet explicitly agrees to abide by it, has an
immediate credibility problem.

That gets bandied about quite a lot, and it may even be true. However,
the cases where anyone has taken a EULA to court are quite few.
Further, there are a LOT of legal jurisdictions which intersect the
WoW player base, and a court ruling in one very probably isn't binding
in another.

Bottom line - it's their game, their world, their rules. If you don't
like any of that, you don't have to play. You may vote with your feet
and your wallet and take your gaming dollars elsewhere.
