Blizzard's Legal Agreements Are WILD - And You Already Accepted Them!

Do you know what you're signing up for when you hit Accept? I dug into Blizzard's legal agreements and some of the things in them will seriously surprise you. This video breaks down everything you need to know before you click that button.

The agreements can change at any time so some of the info here may be wrong or outdated when those changes happen. For reference, I've left a link to the agreements and their last revision date as of the time of recording this video.
