Valve Corporation v. Users

Legal Brief

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

Date: November 4, 2026

RLC’s Position: The case concerns two important issues: (1) whether Valve may enforce updated subscriber terms that removed its arbitration clause and class-action waiver and required disputes, including pending disputes, to be brought in court; and (2) the problems associated with mass arbitration. The RLC’s brief provides the Court with context on mass arbitration and the procedural abuses and ethical concerns illustrated by this case.

Counsel: Amy Turk, Paul Chappell & team at McGuireWoods drafted the brief.
