Could be the basis for a pretty funny class action or mass arbitration.

Both likely banned in the TOS.

Edit: Looked it up and to Capcom's credit, there's no arbitration requirement in the EULA for MH Rise on Steam.

I seriously doubt you can ban both of them; a company might be able to pick how they address grievances, but it seems unlikely that you can just ToS your way to complete legal immunity like that.

There have at least been attempts via creative restrictions on already-mandatory arbitration, notably 23andMe after their breach[1] updated their TOS to require a mandatory conference with the company before filing arbitration[2], seemingly as a way to prevent mass arbitration (since they could claim to only have enough staff to handle a trickle of such conferences).

That won't stop then from trying, and with this SCOTUS court, they might rubber-stamp it
