As we recounted yesterday in this article. DICE and EA have been under heavy scrutiny since the launch of Battlefield 4. Many gamers have experienced more than a fair share of issues with the game. The title has suffered so heavily that DICE has been pulled from all other development until it’s up to par.

We’d heard that a law firm was investigating EA and the Battlefield 4 situation on behalf of one of EA’s investors. Now it appears that a class action suit has been levied against the publisher. The basis of the lawsuit is as follows:

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements highlighting the purported strength of the Company’s rollout of version 4 of its all-important Battlefield video game series,

In addition to the alleged overall misrepresentation, an additional segment of the complaint,

further alleges that, on November 15, 2013, the day Sony released its new Play Station 4 (“PS4”) console, it was disclosed that players of Electronic Arts’ games were being subjected to multiple glitches and significant crashes when attempting to play Electronic Arts’ titles on PS4.

EA was unable to stave off the class-action suit that crippled its annual NCAA franchise. Do you think this lawsuit is justified? It remains to be seen what will come of the legal proceedings, but its clear that another one of EA’s flagship franchises has been damaged by these allegations. The full press release containing the details of the class action suit can be found below.
