("EA" or "Company") (NasdaqGS: EA) and several officers and directors for acts taken during the period of July 24, 2013 to December 4, 2013 (the "Class Period").

In the complaint, the defendants are alleged to have violated certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that (i) Battlefield 4 contained multiple bugs and other problems, including, among other things, downloadable content that allowed players access to more levels of the game, connectivity issues, server limitations, lost data, repeated sudden crashes and the game incorrectly registering on-target shots; (ii) due to the above issues, EA would not achieve a successful holiday season 2013 rollout of Battlefield 4; (iii) the performance of the EA unit publishing Battlefield 4 was so deficient that all other projects that unit was involved in had to be put on hold to permit it to focus its efforts towards fixing Battlefield 4; and (iv) as a result, EA was not on track to achieve the financial results it had told the market it was on track to achieve during the Class Period. According to the complaint, when the truth was revealed to the market, EA stock plummeted over 28% from its Class Period high.
