UFC challenging always-online requirements and no wallet refunds — Solid (85/100)

UFC's no-online-dependency demand is more radical than SKG's goals — Opinion (50/100)
Love this — speaker's humbly crediting UFC for going bolder on banning unnecessary always-online games. Smart Overton window play.

Spot on — private servers like for WoW or EQ handle thousands no problem. Ties right into the 'no need for publisher hosting' argument.

DGCCRF complaints separate, still ongoing — OK (65/100)
UFC suit active under French law, DGCCRF separate and pending — plausible but no public confirmation on exact status.

French laws align with EU consumer standards — fair speculation given ECI's 1.3M signatures and rising digital ownership push.
