A rare reversal on a company’s forced arbitration clause.
Another common W for Steam, but in all seriousness, arbitration clauses in consumer contracts need to be banned.
It’s because there’s effectively a class-action suit going on right now, but because the user agreement says you have to use arbitration, there were tens of thousands of people who are like “sure let’s go to arbitration”. Valve is losing tons of money having to fight all the suits.

Note: I am one of the people involved in this suit.
Honestly, that claim sounds like garbage.
I’m not a lawyer so I have no clue about the legal issues, but I’m more than happy to put my name to anything that costs a corporation money. I don’t even need the money. They can take it out of Valve’s pocket and burn it for all I care.
Right, like the fuck you complaining about? You didn’t get your game at 60 percent off? You paid for the limited edition bonus starter pack?
Like I can see if your in another country and the company who puts it up for sale doesn’t price it for the region but is that steams fault?
Also 30 Percent is low for some of these companies or right on target for most
