Battlefield 4 targeted in class action lawsuit

4.7
Law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Electronic Arts alleging that the company issued "materially false and misleading statements" regarding the quality and playability of its troubled first-person shooter Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 4 has seen numerous patches in the weeks following its release, addressing major issues ranging from client crashes to save file corruption. The suit highlights the PlayStation 4 version of Battlefield 4 in particular, claiming that "players of Electronic Arts' games were being subjected to multiple glitches and significant crashes when attempting to play Electronic Arts' titles on PS4."

The Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd suit marks the second time a law firm has targeted Electronic Arts over Battlefield 4 this month. Previously, Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC launched an investigation to determine whether EA misled investors regarding Battlefield 4's projected impact on company revenue. The results of this investigation have not yet been disclosed.

Individuals who purchased EA common stock between July 24 and December 4, 2013, have until February 15 to contact Robbins Geller for representation in the firm's class action lawsuit.

Even if this was for the people who purchased the game, the reward is probably going to be at best more EA games for free that you don't care about or a small fraction of what you paid for (if the last two other class action lawsuits I was eligible for were any indication).

Sanctorum I find this pathetic, people trying to make money from a game that has had a few glitches. ALL games have glitches/bugs now and again?! It's a HUGE game that has just been recently released, of course it will be glitchy at first.


I agree. Like what goes through their mind when they start thinking about sueing a company.

Really? He is suing them just because of glitches, why not sue all the other games in the world.
