> Class action civil case should still be doable?
Nope, because there's a stance in EULA's footnote (with extremely small letters) that you give up your rights to class action civil case.

Regardless, these sorts of things have been fought before, over and over. Often, courts don't care about an EULA when wrongful action has been taken.
The jurisdiction matters too, of course.
Yes, verified. I would not have said it otherwise.

This specific case BTW: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.47...
I'm no lawyer, but IMHO they probably will reply that Sony has indeed violated CA. AB 2426 (effective since 01-jan-2025) and that Sony illegally tried to restrict customer rights in the first place, as per McGill v. Citibank https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2017/s...
But it's Napoleonic civil code, so sometimes things don't work out as my common law brain thinks.
(It'll be interesting to read your California link.
