Also with 18+, i guess WT live will experience a nuclear explosion of porn “anime” camouflages. Please tell me I am wrong
Nope, this form of “we are not responsible” is pretty old in the EU and already ruled on multiple times as worthless. In essence the lawyer Gaijin hired has been in a coma for the last 10 years or is utterly incompetent.

I also find it a bit disturbing that people are focusing on this issue rather than the fact that Gaijin added a forced arbitration clause to the ToS and Eula… Ok we all know that this is illigal in the EU, and as Gaijin is located in the EU even non EU citicens can ignore that clause, but still

You spent years grinding your way to top tier and even spent real money on a premium pack to ease the grind—only to be punished by account deletion for taking a long break because of burnout. That’s just wild.
I am actually planning to buy mirage f-1c 200 to get my first top tier but now I am hesitating

Not disagreeing with the sentiment, but fwiw, it does say “with notice”. So, if you use a good email address that you check regularly, you will get a notice before anything happens.
The subscription thing is also interesting. TEC had a video wondering if this was going to be a War Thunder Plus thing… because it’s the same ToS/EULA for all their games I wonder if it would be War Thunder or possibly something else they offer now or in future that is going to be subscription-based. I think that’s the one thing in here that would really benefit from some kind of official comment.

Which can be easily missed for life reason or ended up in spam.
I just hope they will at least check the time or money investment of the account before making the decision for us
Yikes.
Just to lower the income taxes huh.
I’d be willing to bet they share a building with the other tank/plane/ship game distributor lol
The issue here is that you can not change your e-mail linked to the game without the support bending the rules. SO worst case you might lose an account without ever getting a notice due to having lost the e-mail and not being able to change it.
This is literally impossible to win in a court, as “failure to exercise rights” is sth you need to be aware of and there are no “get out of jail free cards” for that.
Illigal in the entire EU.
- every EU citizen has the right to sue, forced arbitration is illigal and any and all arbitration has to be fully agreed on by both parties on a case by case basis.
- arbitration is handled in the courts of the country of residence of the damaged party and the right to do so can not be waved without written consent to a judge.
in the entire EU almost every claim has 3 years minimum, it can be extended longer even if the case was brought after the expiration period if a judge decides to do so.
this is handled in the arbitration papers and does not belong here at all
overall it looks like Gaijins lawyer had a stroke and went into a 10-15 year coma and just now finished their 2015 ToS update without checking how the legal landscape has changed since then.
