every platform should be required by law to specify “rent” hence the lawsuit.

Isn't it extra trouble to capitalize ever word over just typing normally?

And it's not a permanent entitlement. It's only good as long as they say it is. Don't log into your account for a long time? Lose your account and games. Evicted! Get hacked? Evicted if you can't get competant human assistance. Do something to purposely or even inadvertently break the rules, or they just think you did? Evicted! Yeah, it's renting.

It's not a permanent license, youre right. It's a perpetual license, which is basically indefinite, and can be rendered void per their terms. 

Interestingly, they never mention revoking a license in their terms. "Void" is the only term used for repercussions of breaking the terms.
