•Valve cuts binding arbitration from its Steam user agreement
73% Informative
Steam has changed its Terms of Service agreement.
Binding arbitration is a requirement that disputes be resolved by a legal proceeding outside of courts.
Instead of a judge, these disputes are overseen by an arbitrator, who is paid by the company.
The new SSA also no longer has a class action waiver, which previously barred groups of similarly situated plaintiffs to sue jointly.
