A law firm was trying to extort Valve with 75k arbitration claims which would cost $3k per claim ($225mm total). As an alternative they offered to settle for $2.9k per claimant.

In the 5 years since the binding arbitration was introduced valve has had only 3 arbitration cases and won all three.

Summarized from the article.

I looked into this a while ago. It seems the best you can do is to try to look the most "average". All attempts to obfuscate details other than "average" make you stand out even worse.

I used it for a few months. Mostly with snikket. It worked fine for Android but I had problems getting notified on an iphone.

How does "Hollywood accounting" affect this? Did anyone actually lose money or are they able to just create losses on paper?
