EA sued over Battlefield 3's missing BF 1943 on PS3
It was announced at E3 this year that the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 would be bundled with a free, platform exclusive copy of Battlefield 1943.
Gamers we greatly displeased, then, to find no free game with their BF3s when it launched in US. Quizzed on the subject, EA said Battlefield 3 PS3 owners would be getting timed-exclusive DLC for the game instead.
We already knew that though, so the whole thing seemed a bit cheeky on the publisher's part, and not well communicated to fans at all.
The lawyers agree. Law firm Edelson McGuire has taken the publisher to court on behalf of disappointed gamers. The complaint focuses on EA's late and poor communication of the change of plan, and the pitiful attempt at a 'make up' proposal with early DLC that had already been announced.
EA "misled and profited from thousands of their customers by making a promise that they could not, and never intended, to keep", alleges the filing, as thousands may have been influenced by the offering to buy the PS3 version over other formats that they may have otherwise preferred to own.
Could this be the nudge EA needs to deliver on its promise?

You sir are an idiot.
If you half understood what EA have done wrong you wouldn't have bothered with your pointless rant.
A lawyer has decided to take the case to court...you think you know more abut the system than them? LOL.
:facepalm:
did i say they never had a case no, i just merely stupid and there just trying to get out of a company.
The Government promised all soldiers would be out of iraq in 2010 but it never happened as compensation the said we have a quarter clearly breaking a promise like EA and offering a half assed apology. Do you sue the government NO cause its stupid to sue over a PROMISE if a promise is in a contract then yeah they have but it was just someone mouthing off. but the sad thing is even EA is right they will settle out of court to avoid hassle and the other party will think they on
As for you saying a lawyer has decided to take it too court they are speaking on behalf of someone and they have to do what they say I.E go to court, continue at court, settle. Since a lawyer is legally bound to do his best for there client even if there not guilty, guilty or have no case. just because they say there going to court doesn't mean they are they still have to wait for EA's attorneys and the court if they have a case
