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.

This is complete sh*t EA and Dice have been working their as**s off to get the game back up to speed. They cannot sue for this Dice has already compensated us with the ENTIRE week of 2x XP. Also Dice has stopped all development of DLC packs until all issues are fixed. Dice did not over advertise as these ***holes are stating. Two people against a multi-million dollar company? Yeah, no go back to bed.

Literacy Electronic Arts need to make a beta for their games before it officially release it, either the game company are bad game developers, or they're just rushing in trying to make a good game.


I'm pretty sure EA do betas for most of their games.

Honestly, imo, game companies should release a portion of their soon-to-be-released games a few months or so before the release date so they can hopefully get rid of their bugs. I know most of you are probably gonna say "That's what the beta is for", well look what happened.


Wait. I just realized that's exactly what the beta is. Dammit.

GibbityTree EA deserves it. Maybe now you'll stop pulling games out of your ****.


I believe the average tard like you, is talking about Infinityward and Treyarch.

I think you got EA mixed up with Infinitrash and treybad.

EA has not made a Battlefield in YEARS.
