Usually it’s forced arbitration, you can’t sue

It really favors the company. Steam is explicitly saying no arbitration which levels the playing field.

Arbitration doesn’t save money. You still need lawyers.

What’s bigger is this explicitly says it allows class actions. Something that most prevent and require individual arbitration, consumers are better off when they can pool resources for lawyers against a giant corporation, especially since most would require an upfront payment for a large class action.
