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:

Shows how to opt-out

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 disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

    US citizens are being asked to waive their rights to class actions or any form

    You don’t need to be in the US for that.
    I am not.

    I fail to understand why they feel the need to do this, considering people are not just suing these companies willy-nilly.

    But if you look closely, they don’t mention anywhere that this Mandate is only with regards to this specific product (XCOM2 in this case), which makes me think, all of these companies are planning to do some problematic thing separately and then use this to escape the consequences.

      You very much need to be in the US for this (or another capitalist hellscape). Reason being that this is illegal in europe.

      They need to do this. They choose to so they cant be sued for using dark patterns most likely.

      These companies need to be shut down. They’re pure evil at this point.
