Judge Certifies Class-Action Football Game Pricing Lawsuit Against EA

[jedishogun]

For the guys who just received your checks when did you file your claim? I filed mine on the last week to do so in May 2013. I hoping to get my soon, so I can buy some new games for the Xbox one with house money.

$11.70 for me, can't wait for 2014's lawsuit with Electronic Arts so I can try and get more money.

[infemous]

Anyone know if EA and the NFLs exclusivity deal is illegal in other countries and whether or not they could be sued overseas?

I was thinking that it may open an international developer to being able to make a licensed NFL game?

Or are the rights to the NFL only controlled by US law?

[mestevo]

It isn't illegal, in the US or other countries. Never was, only their collection of exclusive deals was the problem.

So is EA Sports. I usually don't agree with these lawsuits, but this one's OK in my book.

i honestly don't even remember what the lawsuit was. i remember getting it emailed to me at one time, maybe even mailed to me another time. i'm just saying i passed on it, i didn't want my football games to go away.

Is the game worth EA holding a gun barrel to you head? As I said in my post, I didn't file the claim because I haven't spent money on Madden in years. Part of the reason I haven't is the basis for this suit. You should read up on it. Be ready for a part of you to want to burn EA to the ground.

Frankly, if EA went away, another developer would get the license. Your football wouldn't go away. And, in MY opinion, there's a chance your football game would get BETTER in many ways!
