What legal fallout? Discord made users agree to new terms just a week ago that involves forced arbitration.

    Forced arbitration clauses are not legal in many European jurisdictions, so "agreeing" to them didn't actually do anything.

    Sounds like Discord is about to have 2 million cases of arbitration to sort out.

    One person takes them to arbitration, it's short work for their legal team, if 1000 do it's harder, if 100,000 do, you still have to respond in a timely manner. The costs would be astronomical.

    Valve and a few others removed it for that reason, it's a bomb waiting to blow.
