    Valve did it first, but to be fair, they had a slightly wider net of just King County courts in general.

    I fucking hate Musk, but its interesting to compare and contrast the responses here:

    Valve: So amazing and pro-consumer, they got rid of forced arbitration!

    Xitter: Is this even legal??

    I mean, what Musk is doing is arguably much more insidious because his company isn’t actually in that courts district, while Valve is firmly in King County (Bellevue). Still, curious to see such strongly different responses.

      People don’t care about facts, but feelings. Valve executives don’t give a shit about people either and Valve is extremely anti-consumer half of the time, but people love them because feelings.

        The number of people who don’t realize that half the time Valve has done anything pro-consumer is because they were forced to do so to comply with laws is too damn high. They’re definitely not doing most of it out of the kindness of their hearts.

          True, forgot about that. Anyway, if you want a truly pro-consumer gaming, go to GOG. Not because the company is the best in the world, but because you buy the game, get the game files and you can do whatever with them (not in the legal sense, but who cares).
