Not once the console maker shuts down the platform's reactivation servers.

Which has nothing to do with the license given by the game. They can give you a perpetual, forever license. That does not mean they have to make it perpetually acquirable or activatable.

I don't think all consoles support this sort of game sharing.

All current consoles technically do, but it depends on the developer and/or publisher to make it work. Example: It Takes Two. A player can invite anyone to play for free. Nintendo has done various similar things on many of their games for a long time now.

1. This wouldn't work for most games and would break most of them worse in the long run.
2. Rentals aren't not an accurate description either. When you rent something, you deprive the owner of that thing because you are the temporary "owner". When you rent a room or a house, the owner is not in it with you. When you rent tools from the hardware store, no one else can you those tools until you return them. Software does not work that way.

Man it must be hard being as stupid as you are.

It requires clear and conspicuous notice

Per the law: "(1) “Clear and conspicuous” means in a manner that clearly calls attention to the language, such as in larger type than the surrounding text, or in contrasting type, font, or color to the surrounding text of the same size, or set off from the surrounding text of the same size by symbols or other marks."
(emphasis mine)

The box counts. Express consent is never required per the CA law.
