EA sports law suit settlement
This past week EA sports announced a 40million dollar settlement in their class action lawsuit that was brought up by about 300,000 current and former players represented by the law firm Hagens Berman. As a result of the lawsuit EA will no longer produce its "NCAA football" which is one of the only video games I care to play. Split 40 million dollars 300 thousand ways and you end up with 133 dollars per plaintiff depending on complexity and chances of winning lawyers fees are anywhere from 50 to 15% in similar class action cases. So even on the low end that cuts it to 113 dollars per plaintiff which seems hardly worth the effort to take to court and force a cancelation of the game.
