‘Valve Corporation v. Users of Valve’s Video Game Platform, Steam’ is a real court case.

- Steam has been accused of being a PC gaming monopoly that extracts unreasonable fees
- But Valve’s forced arbitration clause kept lawsuits at bay
- So lawyers recruited thousands of gamers to do mass arbitration and force Valve to settle

- The 9th Circuit has agreed to hear Valve’s proposal to stop the mass arbitration; it’s consolidating those cases under this amusing new name.
