What a terrible loss
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, just someone who knows his rights in this particular case in my particular locality.
Some companies will "require" that condition to have an account, but legally you have to be given the chance to opt-out and not be retaliated against for that choice. I haven't had a single company refuse me an account or access for excluding myself from their arbitration clause, yet. However, I suppose it is a possibility, although I believe a very small one. Since it's a legally protected right. However a business can refuse service, so it's up to the individual to determine how they want to safeguard their rights or surrender them for services, based on their needs.
I enjoy a good FPS, even military sim styles like Battlefield, but that also why I wouldn't join the real military. I enjoy it as a game, a fantasy where none actually get physical injured and everyone goes home at the end of a battle. I've seen enough "video game" violence to know I have zero desire to see the real thing or do such things to other people.
PSA: You can opt-out of arbitration clauses
You can not be forced to give up legal rights in a contract in the USA, and anytime an arbitration agreement in the US is pushed out onto the public like a big ol' turd by the @55holes 5h!tting on us from up high, we have the legal tight to opt-out. This usually only lasts for a limited amount of time, typically 30 days after "agreeing" to the new TOS, and the process has to be done manually, like with an email or actual letter. Yes it's a pain, they design it that way so less users will do it. But it can be done.

Oh, my. I hadn't even noticed how much less I've had to clean my Windshield lately. That is a very bad sign...

Miss Piggy would definitely call it a Boarbarian, however.
The logic of this is nonexistent. An argument could be made very convincingly that cars are dangerous to allow in the hands of criminals. 2 tons of metal, well known for and capable of ending a life, with the ability to aid criminal enterprises and avoidance of law enforcement. So should car sales now require a criminal background check? All this would do is further disenfranchise convicted felons, regardless of the actual crime committed, and create new difficulties for a group that includes a very high percentage of people already proven to give no shits about the law who will find and exploit ways to continue activities despite any laws attempting to restrict them.
I did a seasonal stint at a Target Warehouse recently, and while there wasn't anything blatantly antiunion, the effort is absolutely there. There is alot of talk about open door policies, open communication lines between management and workers, and a culture of "trust". My emphasis, their words. They also have a standing policy that, out of context, is very odd. Knowing what I do about antiunion measures, it's very blatant. They have a fiercely reinforced policy that there is to be no distribution of any papers or solicitation of any kind during work hours or on Target property. They attempt to rationale it with an example of people "asking for kids fundraising orders or public funding websites". Personally I've never known those to be even a mild distraction at any workplace.
