Image shows screenshot of XCOM2: War of The Chosen: Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Terms of Service, with an added Mandatory Arbitration clause in Section 15.
Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:
At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the
disagreebutton.Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.
The whole forced arbitration is bad enough, but retroactively enforcing it on something you already own while deliberately making it difficult to opt out just seems like its begging to fall foul of anti-consumer rules. The whole "this applies to the extent that its not really fucking illegal" clause just makes it seem like an intimidation tactic rather than actually something they think they have any chance of enforcing if it came to it.
Anti-consumer rules...? What are those? Sounds like communist propaganda to me. All hail the ~~corporate overlords~~ job creators!
