Or it’ll just be “as you can see in X portion of the ToS, we reserved the right to modify conditions for access to our content” and the case will be closed.

Given that ToS says they can just straight-up delete your account without warning for a wide variety of reasons, including misrepresenting your age, it will get thrown out instantly?
My banking info is already linked that’s enough from me. If this goes through I’ll happily delete my account. I’m not giving you any else.
So, actually valuable PII being stored is fine, but nearly valueless PII that isn't even being stored is somehow the straw that broke the camel's back? You do realize you can delete your payment information, it just makes using the store less convenient.
Lol, wizbro can make the TOS, they don't get to decide if it is legal that's what courts are for at least where I live.
While it's true that elements of a ToS can be invalidated by a court as being contrary to law or public policy, that's not going to happen for a requirement of providing your age, and yes, you've agreed to that part of the ToS, as it's been there since at least October (it's not cached on the wayback machine so I can't say when it was first added, but I think it's actually pretty old) and you can't use D&D Beyond without agreeing to the ToS.

Taking my account away because I refuse to be extorted out of private information I'm not required to to divulge by any law applicable to me because they chose to apply laws from another country as company policy is quite a modification to the TOS especially considering they already took my money. Time will tell but just because wizbro says they can doesn't mean they actually can. This farce gets even more laughable considering there are plenty of teens in the countries that passed these laws easily circumventing them days if not hours after they took effect.
Speaking as a lawyer who actually practices some elements privacy law, I don’t know a single judge that won’t laugh you out of the courtroom the second Wizards says “This person holds the keys to their own access; all they have to do is spend about ten seconds writing down their age and location - data we do not even store, so there is no privacy risk.”
Feel free to sue Wizards all you want - wouldn’t be surprised if you end up paying their legal fees for wasting their and the court’s time. This is an incredibly silly hill to die on, and it is hard to see any of your meritless complaints - all of which have been repeatedly shown to be non issues - as having any legitimacy. Enjoy your court case; I’ll continue to enjoy D&D.
A lot of you have already hit the nail on the head with why this is happening now on DDB, which I'll reiterate here: we're joining the many other websites on this great wide internet in age verification to comply with laws that are being rolled out across the world. No one particular part of the world is the cause for this.
Too bad you couldn't have coded it so the banner disappears after we fill out the information.
Not sure if the misdirection is intentional or not, but what does this have to do with the number of people that are required by wizbro to comply under threat of being locked out of their account when they are not required to comply by any law?

Your choice not to comply. Their right to restrict you for not complying. The age old repeated argument, 'you can't do that to my account' when yes they can. GL with an argument that has never been successful in court.
