In my heart of hearts I would sincerely hope that this leads to the first real challenge towards "you waive all arbitration" clauses in EULAs, and maybe EULAs in general. EULAs have been on shaky ground almost since the start, because there's no real guarantee anyone reads even three paragraphs of legalese -- nevermind some games and software presenting you with multiple pages of extremely dense text about ownership rights and whatever else. (I forget, was it Dragon Ball FighterZ that had four separate EULAs, each one 5-10+ pages long?)

"By agreeing to this you waive your right to sue us for any reason" has always been the most slimy, disgusting, genuinely evil thing a lawyer ever invented. If anyone is going to get away with enforcing something like this it's Disney, but I'd love it if their attempt gets stuffed and this sets a legal precedent that unravels the whole practice top to bottom.

Really feels like a lawyer heard about EULA's for the first time and thought it would be their get out of jail free card but it ended up blowing up bigger then I think they expected
