FYI – I have just received the instructions to opt out of this UK compensation claim against Valve.

Opt-out form: https://optout.steamyouoweus.co.uk/

Dear Steam User

You previously contacted us indicating you would like to opt-out of the UK collective proceedings against Valve, Case No. 1640/7/7/24. We are emailing to assist you with making a formal opt-out, please read the below information on how to do this.
 

Who needs to opt-out

The Collective Proceedings Order has been made and it is now possible to formally opt-out of the claim. You can only opt-out of the proceedings if you are considered part of the Class. For example, if you were not domiciled in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2026, you are not included in the Class and, therefore, do not need to opt-out. More detail on the Class and the claim can be found in the official Notice of the Collective Proceedings Order.
