I keep seeing ads for the Steam Lawsuit. I was wondering if there for real or not? Has anyone signed up for it and actually got anything?

IIRC an indie game company did bring a lawsuit against Valve for their policy where Valve demanded they set the price of their game on EGS to $X value or get they will kicked off steam. (I don't remember the 100% exact details but it was something like that, Valve has a clause in their developer ToS where they can limit the prices of your games on *other* platforms)
It's probably fair to say while Steam isn't a true monopoly it's close to *effectively* being one in the PC space at the moment.
The law firm representing the claim will also take a portion of the refund. Mason LLP says their fee is 40% of the recovery.
