PlayStation 3 players were promised a free copy of Battlefield 1943 with their new purchase of Battlefield 3, and since EA didn’t honor their end of the bargain, lawyers will now benefit. Â According to the suit filed by Edelson McGuire, the suit points to a couple of issues in the way that the offer was handled.
As you may remember, EA did not announce the deal change until after Battlefield 3 hit store shelves, leaving many confused when they purchased the PS3 version of the game. Â Furthermore, the company didn’t formally announce the deal change, and did so over Twitter instead of a more formal channel.
The attorneys in the matter believe that EA “misled and profited from thousands of their customers by making a promise that they could not, and never intended to keep.”
It’s quite silly really, why would you want 1943 with Battlefield 3 staring you right in the face. Â Either way, EA definitely did make the promise, and now lawyers will seek “compensatory relief”. Â This means they are only seeking their copy of Battlefield 1943, which was originally promised.
