    So by your logic, it is legal for someone to disregard the ETW EULA and develop a crack for the game that bypasses the Steam DRM and distribute the game on bittorrent? Since the ETW agreement is non-binding?

    No, because that would violate international copyrite laws. It is, however, legal for me to install a game on more than one PC even though a gane's EULA likes to pretend I can only put the game I legally own on one of my computers.
