Ummm if you don't think GOG or Itch don't have similar clauses you're in for bitter disappointment.

GOG also reserve the right to terminate your account. You have a license to use it. Almost all games on GOG have a 'you don't own it, you own a license to use it' clause as well. No arbitration clauses though.

Itch has a class action waiver, and many games on it have a 'you don't own it, you own a license to use it' clause.
