EU consumer law still allows for contracts and terms and conditions, and if you agree to those T&Cs you can be bouned by them. There are all sorts of things that can go into T&Cs - like if you go to a casino and are caught cheating, they take all of your money off you - sounds fine, but if you then go back there later and hand over money for chips, they take your money then ask you to leave, keeping your new money too, because you accept that in the terms & conditions.

it's just that none of us can afford to take a publishing house to court over disputes in their EULAs.

Sure you can, a game doesn't cost much and you can take them to the small claims court, represent yourself and pay a £15 (or so) fee. They're hardly going to waste thousands on a legal team if you're in the right.
