A rare reversal on a company’s forced arbitration clause.
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.

Another common W for Steam, but in all seriousness, arbitration clauses in consumer contracts need to be banned.
