Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

Shows how to opt-out

At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

It's absurd that this is legal (assuming it is). How can it be just to have customers waive their right to access the justice system?
