On Tuesday the law office of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP submitted a class action lawsuit against Electronic Arts in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit is on behalf of Electronic Arts common shareholders who purchased the game publisher's stock between July 24, 2013 and December 4, 2013, aka the "Class Period."

According to the lawsuit, Electronic Arts allegedly issued "materially false" and "misleading" statements highlighting the purported strength of the company's rollout of Battlefield 4 this fall. Electronic Arts then issued strong fiscal 2014 financial guidance for the company, and increased that guidance on October 29. Thanks to these positive statements, stock steadily climbed to as much as $28.13 per share, allowing senior executives to sell their stock at artificially inflated prices.

I played BF2 and loved it. I alpha and beta tested BF3. I ended up buying it and played it off and on. I beta tested BF4 and while it was fun I didn’t think it was so different front BF3 to warrant the $60.

One thing about the Red Alert platform is that it’s view from top down at a low elevation angle reminded me of playing with train-sets when I was a kid.

First person is OK, but the top down was a nostalgic view that appealed to me. I guess they don’t make computer games for old farts.

I would look into company of heroes. It’s like playing with army guys as a kid. Good RTS game.
