Reminds me of this recent Live Nation suit that was thrown out because "buyers waived their right to sue: https://www.nme.com/news/music/live-nation-antitrust-lawsuit...
Nintendo, controller drift. Worth looking up.

TL;DR: Controller drift class action lawsuit filed by parents thrown out, because their children were the actual "affected class". Refiled with the children as the class and thrown out again, this time because of an arbitration clause in the EULA their parents would have had to agree with.

Lawyers and EULAs are crazy.
