Love when non-lawyers try to tell me (who is a lawyer) what a contract does and doesn't mean lol. In particular, I'm an attorney who has dealt with tons of corporate transactions, from IP sales to mergers and acquisitions.

I've said this to other people on these forums (possibly you, since your new ban evasion account has a writing style/cadence that's very similar to someone else I've had this discussion with who I believe got banned). Contracts have language in them that says the terms are binding on successors and assigns, including unaffiliated successors/assigns. So when Daybreak sold the IP, the purchaser would've been made aware of the contract during the sale transaction and that it would be bound by the terms. As a result, if they tried to just revoke the contract for no reason, P99 would almost certainly be able to win a case claiming promissory estoppel, breach of contract, etc. Like...you wouldn't even get past the initial motion to dismiss stage. It would be tossed out and P99 would win.

So yeah the contract does mean shit. And it's why P99 wouldn't go and, say, add PoP to the server. Because then the current IP holder could claim breach of contract and revoke the deal.
