I wouldn't put my money on them winning that one. It's wrong, but the laws were written by and for companies. I don't think a judge is going to say that a company who runs an online service can't ban users for violations of their policies. Hell, if the law cared about making sure companies couldn't arbitrarily cut off people's access to their purchases DRM would be outlawed.

They took a popular product that didn't need them and inserted themselves in-between the game and the players so they could collect the players money, take their data, and control their behavior.
