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.

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

The launch came too soon for the title, that's what they're meaning over this. If they knew there been bugs like this being tested it means a project delay. It a misleading launch.

I have had some issues with this game but nothing that would make me want sue EA.

CaszechPosted:

People actually sue over these things.. wow.

HOFPosted:

I must admit it is buggy and other things. But I wouldnt sue over these things....

OasisPosted:

As much as it was and still is buggy (still have corrupt save, but 'fixed' it by deleting the file, still can't play Dawnbreaker aka Gamebreaker, still experience audio/graphic and server issues)...all this and yet I still keep playing because actually despite all it's flaws it's a brilliant game.

Do you know of any other company that's pushed out updates like EA? I understand it's still got a lot wrong but it will get better, it already has.

wait.. so these people are suing EA for money on behalf of people not getting what they were promised... shouldn't EA have to give people a free game or something towards BF4 instead? Would seem more fair than giving money to these people

CHPPosted:

im pretty sure every game gets sued for something, some of the reasons are really stupid though

MaggardoPosted:

I haven't had any issues ever since I got the game, my buddy also hasn't had any issues when playing Battlefield 4!
