That’s an insane litmus test of objective fact. I’d say a significant amount of court rulings go blatantly against reality lmfao. You can’t test things in court that aren’t disputed because someone has to dispute it… Who’s gonna dispute that a contract is a contract? Read the text it says when you buy a game. It says what it says. No court can say a document doesn’t say the words it literally explicitly says.

Well I’m sorry that you don’t understand case law, but that’s exactly how it works in situations like this. Who’s gonna dispute that a contract is a contract? Nobody now, because that’s a precedent that’s already been set. In a court. Something that has not happened for the situation we’re talking about. Edit: to be clear, it’s not necessarily true that nobody would dispute that actually. There are likely numerous cases regarding identifying the validity of a contract on the books, which is how we know exactly what one is. If someone were to come up with an interesting enough situation that warrants a new case, then that outcome would be added to the list of cases that define what a contract is (do a Google search, there are already a whole bunch like that). That’s literally how the court system works.
