This needs to turn into a class action suit that results in John Tortellini having his oxygen rights revoked. I can't imagine shareholders will be happy finding out that John Riceroni has been selling off Unity's stock, and I'm pretty sure what Unity's trying to do here is straight-up illegal in the US. Fuck John Rigatoni. God, I was so happy thinking he'd died and gone to hell after EA, but nope, still alive and well.

Hahaaa nah, ToS:

The Parties agree that any arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the Parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

Forced arbitration is one of the most villainous legal practices still somehow allowed in the US.

Arbitration is often a good thing, by avoiding clogging up courts and arbitrators can sometimes be better than whatever judge you'd get (since both parties have to agree to the arbitrator). It's still legally binding and arbitrators have made lots of great rulings.

But not as a replacement for class action. The whole point of class actions is to make it much more viable for many people to be represented because only one affected person has to deal with managing an expensive lawsuit and there's just one case instead of hundreds of thousands of arbitration cases (which still cost a ton of money for lawyers). So IMO arbitration is great, but shouldn't be allowed to replace class actions specifically.

With all your puns, I still don't what John Cappelletti's real name is.

I think it's, never working in this industry again.
