Yet another law firm is looking to sue EA over Battlefield 4, alleging that EA misled investors about the condition of the game.

A few days ago we reported that EA is facing a class-action lawsuit over Battlefield 4, for allegedly misleading investors over the condition of Battlefield 4. Just days before the game was released, several EA executives offloaded almost $5 million in EA stock.
Now another law firm, Bower Piven, has filed the same class-action lawsuit, and they’re seeking for an EA investor that has lost at least $200,000 on EA stock purchased over the past few months. EA’s shares have been very volatile lately, due to the problems of Battlefield 4.
There’s no denying that all the problems that Battlefield 4 launched with have resulted in lost sales. The game was unplayable when it launched, and only now, after almost two months and a dozen patches, can it actually be played. Still, it’s far from perfect.
However, it seems that these lawsuits piling up are from lawyers looking to make a quick buck on the back of EA’s troubles. And for the gamer, the lawsuits and the result of them won’t have any effect — the lawsuits are from investors who feel misled by EA.
EA has previously said that they will fight every lawsuit in court and they called them “meritless”.

Hopefully other companies will take notice and not continue to follow EA's dumb ass philosophy of "Release now, Patch the shit out of it, later" mentality....that many seem to have done in the past.

It's what happens when development studios go "corporate". They stop caring about the quality of the games themselves and instead focus much more on the all-mighty dollar. It stops being an art form and turns into a business. Just like how reality tv clogs up all the channels. Money over quality.

It's why I don't fault Valve for the long time between releases. They always put out quality games and seem to actually care about the gamers.

EA ruined Bioware for me and many other developers.
