Gamers Nexus paid a lawyer to read the contract and had one of their staff members try to read the entire thing on the TV.
The lawyers conclusion is that a non-lawyer basically has no chance of correctly interpreting the contract and the TV auto-standby almost made it physically impossible for the staff member to even read it.
The „happy path“ is the only path, for all practical purposes.
Not only that but to read every single related T&C from the whole chain of partners, and to keep track of it when it changed, is basically impossible.
This sort of malicious compliance of using T&C to enable bad behaviour by corporations needs to be fixed with laws.
Reminds me of cookie banners, the dark pattern where they've decided to be deliberately verbose and annoying in order to get people to take the easy path and agree to let them continue doing their bad behaviour.
