and you legally agreed to it.

This is the main point of debate around EULA's, and what really limits their practical applicability. Nobody reads them, and everybody - including the publishers issuing them and any judge who would be presiding over the case - knows that. The agreement is also generally not presented prior to the purchase being made (sure, they're accessible online, but until Gamestop employees refuse sales to anyone that doesn't sign a document stating that they've read it, that doesn't mean much), and there isn't a lot of precedent for holding people to contracts that they agree to before being presented with the contract. The user agrees to it, but whether or not they legally agree to it is another question entirely.
