I’ve been reading about Nintendo’s new Arbitration Clause, which says we can’t sue them anymore. Recently, I saw an ad on Instagram leading to a site where Nintendo is under investigation for potential privacy violations related to digital game purchases. It got me thinking: if I enter my info for this lawsuit, could I be violating Nintendo’s arbitration clause and risk getting my account banned? I’m really cautious about this and considering opting out of their new terms, but I’m unsure if signing up for the lawsuit would have any consequences for my Nintendo account.

Honestly, I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see how signing up for a class action lawsuit would lead to Nintendo banning your account. They need personal info to even know if you’ve been affected. Just be careful and only enter info on verified sites.
You should definitely think twice before entering your info based on an Instagram ad. There are many scams out there that just want your data. While it’s true some people have seen compensation from legit lawsuits, a lot of these ads are just traps. Better safe than sorry!
Yeah, I filled out a claim for Pokémon Go and did get some money back. So they can work, but keep your guard up and make sure it’s from a real law firm!
Don’t worry too much about signing up for a lawsuit affecting your Nintendo account. Generally, you can opt-out of arbitration clauses if you’re part of a collective claim. Just read through the details carefully before doing anything!
Exactly! It’s crazy how strict Nintendo is getting. Just make sure you’re dealing with the legit stuff and you should be fine.
