    Try going with that argument to court and see what happens. In USA basically anything goes, whatever is written in there. No matter how weird or against the user. There’s a reason why EU’s pushing new and shorter terms than can be glanced and read easily.

      Whoever is downvoting this needs to have an encounter with the U.S. legal system, so they find out how little their precious freaking “rights” are worth.

        Yup. But this is Lemmy. People are emotional rather than rational.

        Edit: Here’s a video I linked in my other comment where Ross is talking about USA law and terms and conditions when it comes to games. He’s trying to get publishers to stop killing games once they are out. He basically consulted two lawyers and they both give up on that. It’s so atrocious that it’s not a matter for law, but constitution.
