It's cheaper for Valve this way, and it costs you more to do anything legally. Because, you know, you'll have to pay legal fees out of your own pocket instead of initiating arbitration on Valve's dime.

Yay, you won!

It's still a win thankfully as you say, especially given that for me at least we'd be meeting in a European court.

Though in general I hope I never have to take valve to court, period. Honestly if that happens something REALLY bad must have gone down haha.

Like a steam deck checking its phone while driving and running over my kids or something.
