What was their rationale for doing nothing?

Carrot: Free vacations? Merch? Benefits ...

Stick: Scared because taking actions against the Buy (aka you own nothing) is paramount to going in a fight with a entire industry.

Class action civil case should still be doable? And 100k small claims court cases would hurt.

> Class action civil case should still be doable?

Nope, because there's a stance in EULA's footnote (with extremely small letters) that you give up your rights to class action civil case.

		So you've verified this? In this specific case? Or are you just being a wise guy. Regardless, these sorts of things have been fought before, over and over. Often, courts don't care about an EULA when wrongful action has been taken. The jurisdiction matters too, of course.
