Electronic Arts Accused of Misstating the Strength of Its Battlefield 4 Rollout
According to the complaint, shares of Electronic Arts fell $1.90 per share, to close at $24.06 on November 15, 2013, following the disclosure that Electronics Arts’ games were performing poorly when played on Sony’s newly released PS4 game console. Electronic Arts’ shares fell an additional 8.84%, or $1.23 per share, to close at $21.01 per share on December 4, 2013, when it was revealed that Electronic Arts would indefinitely halt its rollout of Battlefield 4 in the face of continued technical problems involving the video game.
The complaint alleges that Electronic Arts issued false and misleading statements regarding the company’s ability to successfully rollout version 4 of its popular Battlefield video game, a large driver of revenue for the company in fiscal 2013. The complaint charges that throughout the Class Period, Electronic Arts repeatedly assured investors that Battlefield 4 would enjoy a successful holiday season 2013 rollout despite knowing the game was riddled with bugs and other problems. According to the complaint, these misleading statements drove Electronic Art’ stock to a Class Period high of $28.13 per share on August 23, 2013.
