There is something in Roman Law called retroactivity, which is applied only if it's beneficial to the recipients of that regulation.
So, if you bought Assassin's Creed Origins in 2016 without that clause, and afterwards that clause is made effective, it only affects to people who bought the game after that change.
However, if something in the EULA is removed or changed for the better, it affects to every body, no matter what.
Not sure if it's the same in Common Law.

The image depicts a fantasy scene featuring a woman with long, flowing red hair, sitting on rocks by the sea. She is wearing a flowing gown that transitions from white at the top to a shimmering blue at the bottom, with intricate patterns and a mermaid-like tail. The gown has sheer, billowing sleeves and a fitted bodice. Her hair is adorned with silver accessories, and she has pointed ears, suggesting an elf-like appearance. The background shows a clear blue sea with gentle waves, and the rocks are partially submerged in the water. The overall color palette is dominated by blues and whites, with the red hair providing a striking contrast. The image has a digital painting style, with soft brush strokes and a dreamy quality. The artist's signature, "Something Deviant," is visible in the bottom right corner.

"At a 2021 conference of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), Zohran Mamdani discussed various short-term reforms favored by the organization. But alongside offering his thoughts on the groupsโ immediate aims, he also had something to say about โend goalโ of socialist politics: โseizing the means of production.โ
In the last week, the clip resurfaced on right-wing social media, where itโs been treated as a damning discovery about Mamdani, who just won a primary to become the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City.
National Review ran a brief item on the clip under the headline โUh, Thatโs Literal Communism!โ On CNN, Scott Jennings concurred, saying that Mamdani was โusing the language of the Bolsheviks.โ Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that this was โthe scariest thing Mamdani has saidโ and that it was โstraight out of Karl Marxโs Communist playbook.โ
Itโs unclear why these remarks about the end goal of socialist politics are supposed to be shocking. Days before this supposedly scandalous clip surfaced, when a CNN reporter asked Mamdani whether he โlike[d] capitalism,โ his response was a forthright โNo, I have many critiques.โ
And of course, Mamdani constantly called himself a โsocialistโ during the primary election in which he delivered a knockout blow against former governor Andrew Cuomo, defeating the former governor by 12 points in the final round.
A socialist advocating the socialization of the means of production should be exactly as surprising as a libertarian advocating โlibertyโ from economic redistribution or a conservative calling to conserve the status quo. This is socialismโs core defining proposition, and it is a mark of how alien many of the ideas of the Left are to the media class that Mamdaniโs comments have come as a surprise."

So, Robert Chote, head of the Office for National Statistics is 'stepping down' because of the obvious failures at the ONS in the last few years..... or is he?
Well, he's certainly leaving, but stepping straight into the Presidency of Trinity College, albeit at around half the salary, but with considerable 'benefits' including housing & living costs....
So, as so often with our managerial class, not so much paying the price of failure, but leaving the wreckage behind....

"The urban terrain, the resilience of Hamas and the people of Gaza, the balance of forces in the region and new warfare technologies posed distinct challenges for the Israeli Defence Forces, who were now fighting on multiple fronts with more ambitious goals than just recovering the hostages: destroying Hamas and then Hezbollah, controlling Southern Lebanonโin addition to making life unbearable for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. It was the continuation of the Nakbaโan uncivil war of land expropriation.
In those early days, watching with mounting anxiety the indiscriminate bombing of a defenceless population, I wondered why such an eruption of violence had not occurred in apartheid South Africa. Many had anticipated a similar Armageddon. The States of Emergency between 1984 and 1994 saw the militarization of townships, death squads, chemical warfare, assassinations, torture and detention without trial. During this period, an estimated 20,000 were killed in South Africa, the vast majority black; another 1.5 million died in South Africaโs โdestabilizationโ of neighbouring countries. How, after ten years of civil war, did this culminate in a negotiated settlement, the dismantling of the major planks of the apartheid order, and the first elections based on majority rule? Why does such an outcomeโwith all its problemsโseem so remote when we turn to the plight of the Palestinians and the spiralling violence, internal and external, of the Israeli state? How was it that the Oslo Accords of 1993 and 1995 intensified confrontations rather than making progress towards a two-state solution? Why did Israel abandon the Abraham Accords, which outlined collaboration with Arab states, preferring the disproportionate massacre of Palestinians after Hamasโs incursion?"
