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.

I don’t get this part.
How come they explicitly state the European Economic Area, while at the same time, it doesn’t apply there?

Or do the European Economic Area and EU refer to different things?


Or is it that they thought the user will not care to check in case they have a problem big enough to seek legal aid?

The EEA shows up in the list of places it does not apply. They worded it strangely, first calling out the US as a place where it does apply. Then they change it up and say it also applies to anywhere not on this specific list of places

Ah you’re right. Rereading it fixed the doubt. Guess I skipped a few words the first time.
Mental note to not skip words in a legal document. Or any written document.

EEA and EU are related but not the same

Currently EEA consists of the EU states + some other European countries.
