Lawyers Investigate EA Over Battlefield 4 Problems

Oh now this is flipping awesome!

It would appear that EA is now being investigated over some of the statements it made during the pre-release of Battlefield 4.  The article indicates that this shouldn't be considered a lawsuite "yet" but rather an look into some of the complaints from players about shoddy servers and DLC issues and how that impacts investor dollars, or, in this case, the lack of return on what was invested.

Specifically, the firm will investigate whether EA complied with "federal securities laws" when making public statements regarding Battlefield 4 between the days of July 24 and December 4 2013.

"The investigation focuses on statements issued during that time regarding the development and sales of the Company's Battlefield 4 video game and the game's impact on EA's revenue and projects moving forward," read a press release issued by the firm. The release then goes on to encourage those who suffered losses on EA common stock purchased between those dates to be in touch.

I know this won't teach them to make a better game but we can hope that eventually the COD syndrome will finally come to an end.
