Electronic Arts (EA) is being required to reimburse anyone who bought any of the EA football games from 2005 - 2012. (The payout has just been tripled so act fast!). According to the most recent information, there are differing levels of payout based upon platform:
For Playstation 2, Xbox, Gamecube, or Windows PC users, they are entitled to about $20 from EA (Current up to $20.37 from $6.79 previously). For any newer platforms there is a payout of $5.85 (up from the original $1.95).
The Court notice stated as follows:
The Court modified the distribution plan to ensure that Settlement Class Members received as much money as possible from the settlement fund. The amount of money being returned to Settlement Class Members was less than expected because fewer than anticipated Settlement Class Members submitted claims prior to the original close of the claims period (i.e., prior to March 5, 2013), and Electronic Arts had fewer names and physical addresses for nonclaiming Settlement Class Members than the parties originally believed. The Court adjusted the distribution plan to provide for additional money to be returned to Settlement Class Members.
