New EULA makes it so you cant sue?

[OgMango]

anyone else find it odd that in order to play now you must waive your ability to have a class action lawsuit or anything else and that it must be done more privately? am I the only one that finds that suspicious?

No new eula makes it so people think they have no rights

You (in a western country) still have the same rights as before

BUT you'll have a hard time finding any court that would side with you, it is essentially wild west with the developers as dues ex machina gods that can do what they want

Plus before you have a suit they have to have caused you damages, which the way courts and digital stuff work is questionable currently. Every day the case gets stronger for digital goods equating to real world value but good luck

If I may, a bunch of companies, even other industries, are doing this now... there were some successful class-action lawsuits it seems (I saw announcements in some stores/magazines/websites, don't remember what they were). Gonna be the 'new normal' i guess

The new EULA is all about arbitration and when money is paid out.

Before money was paid by the company, now they want money paid by the litigant beforehand and it'll be refunded if they are found in the right.

It's something people were doing to Steam to create a financial burden as money was tied up in litigation. The way of the EULA is to now put a financial burden on the litigant to discourage pursuing legal matters to begin with.

Everyone still uses the reference to the "wild west" The Wild West is Hollywood made. The real old wild west was safer than NYC is today!

This is a win win for all you Lawyers-no matter who wins-all Lawyers get paid. Mole Rats are covered by the Mole Miners Union, were kinda like little dependents and get use their Lawyers when need be.
