• EA Football Class Action Suit: I (and nsanehunter sent me one too) got an email about a Class Action suit being filed against EA..
  The class action lawsuit alleges violations of California’s antitrust and consumer protection laws in connection with the sale of certain football video games. Plaintiffs, purchasers of Electronic Arts’ football video games, claim that Defendant Electronic Arts entered into a series of exclusive licenses with the National Football League (NFL), National Football League Players’ Association (NFLPA), National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), and Arena Football League (AFL), which Plaintiffs claim foreclosed competition in an alleged football video game market. Plaintiffs allege that this series of exclusive licenses caused customers who purchased certain football video games to be overcharged.
  Defendant Electronic Arts has denied any liability and all allegations of misconduct. The Court has not decided whether the Defendants did anything wrong, and this Notice is not an expression of any opinion by the Court about the merits of any of the claims or defenses asserted by any party to this litigation.

Question of the Week

Which games do you play more? Indie games, Big Budget from Major Publishers or Both?

• JohnHerndon: Both usually on recommendation.
• tinkerpriest: both. Anything in my budget that catches my eye or is brought to my attention.
• NairobiCao: I’d play more indie games if I ever managed to be told about them. The few I have played, I like very much. 😀
• StoppableForce: As much as I try to support indie games, the majority of my library is, if not from major publishers, at least big budget.
• DanProctor: Big Budget from Major Publishers, though I’m trying to play more indie games.
• SturgarHawkwind: I think I often end up playing a lot of both, but I enjoy indie games more.
• MyBryo: with the exception of wow I would say indie games
• RyanMHolt:  Both, but I tend to enjoy Indie games for being more game-y and the blockbusters for scope.
• William Wilson: Major Publishers. As a kid I had a job cutting grass during the summer. I made about 100 dollars a week, for a 12 year old…. If there was a game in the store i was buying it. Now a days I try to limit myself to one or two addictions at a time.
