Remember that whole story about Sony adding an anti-lawsuit clause in their updated Terms of Service? The idea has apparently been picking up steam, with EA also having added one in for their digital distribution service, Origin. The only real way to opt out of these requirements while still having access to your account is to send a formal letter to the appropriate company asking to be excluded.

Concerned gamers, meanwhile, are taking matters into their own hands and making the opt out process a bit easier. The service, which is provided on the website Gamers Opt Out, provides an easy method of getting your letter done, which they can then send to your company of choice in your stead, at no cost to you. No need to pay for shipping, or trying to find the appropriate address. Just follow the simple instructions and fill out the appropriate boxes, and you’re good to go.

A nifty little service that should hopefully help to spread the idea that an anti-lawsuit clause in the first place is a pretty stupid idea, if not borderline illegal. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court isn’t exactly in a rush to put EA and Sony in their respective places, so, this method is really your best bet if you want to have access to your video games, and keep your legal rights.
