ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

For users who paid little or nothing in the relevant twelve-month period, this cap could reduce Activision's liability to near zero regardless of the extent of harm.

Interpretive note: The second item in what_this_means ('could be zero') is a logical consequence of the cap as stated; it does not introduce a new legal proposition but reflects the mathematical effect of the canonical claim. Noted here for transparency.
