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.

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.

There is so much proof that BF4 is obsolete, EA will lose before the court date arrives.

F22 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.


They had no choice. If they needed to compete with COD on the next gen at launch to gain more players.


Who are we kidding? Even had Battlefield of waited for the release date, they'd still outsell CoD. Even with BF4 glitching out, Ghosts sales are declining. I know they can't see into the future but lets be honest with ourselfs, BF4 would outsell CoD any day.

At least they're suing EA and not DICE. I love DICE and they don't deserve all this BS. People always blame the developers, when usually it's the publishers.
