Also like all contract law you can face civil proceedings including everything from being sued to fined and in some rare instances even have the hardware involved siezed and auctioned off which can include a gaming rig and all perhipherals and associated software not neccisary for employment. Also there are laws already inplace that were intended for other things like protecting intelectual property and not interfearing with the distribution of copyrighted materials, and depending whrere you are, virtual objects and currency qualify.Â
EULA are not contracts between you and the game company, they are an agreement between you and that company. It doesn't fall under contractual law.Â
