The law firm of Holzer Holzer & Fistel has announced that it is currently investigating EA over claims made related to Battlefield 4. The matter focuses on statements made by the publisher’s officers between July 24, 2013, and December 4, 2013.

This isn’t Holzer Holzer & Fistel’s first time investigating a video game company. The firm looked into THQ’s disclosures over the uDraw failure.

To me this is silly. All games have crashes when the first come out. The game is not even two months old now and now seams to run great.

Last paragraph said it is unrelated to gameplay.  

To reply to your statement though, just because gamers are used to companies releasing unfinished games doesn't make it right.

We live in nation of over zealous entitled people, to such an extent that we have spawned an entire industry of lawyers that chase ambulances and market class actions on TV like infomercials.
A little tort reform and putting the onus on the filers to be liable for absorbing the costs of failed actions may limit this silliness.

Have we really become a nation of "Sue thy Neighbor?"

I agree with Tet on this one.  Yes, we are used to all Games Crashing when they first come out, but why done we hold programmers to higher standards.  Why do we have Alpha and Beta testing if the product is released with bugs.

I guess the way I would look at it is would you buy a car that crashes when it first comes out.

I was thinking more along the lines of buying a car only to find out it has no gas tank.  Also with BF4, and I know I am not the only one, the beta worked WAY better than the released game.

Sorry, I saw this and just had to say something.

Hopefully DICE didnt design this watch.  It would only be right 2 times a day.
