The Big Winners in the Madden Lawsuit Are, Of Course, Lawyers
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Electronic Arts will set up a $27 million fund to settle a class action lawsuit alleging its Madden NFL series was a price-gouging illegal monopoly. To no one’s surprise, the biggest payment out of that will be to lawyers. Terms are subject to a judge’s approval, but the plaintiff’s lawyers have agreed that when they file their motion for fees—i.e. what they get paid for litigating this four-year case—it’ll be no more than 30 percent of the fund. That’s $8.1 million. In Yono all app fairness, that’s for four years of work. But it’s still a third of this award.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Costs, which would be the plaintiffs’ actual expenses or Yono all app whatever had to be สล็อตฟรี paid out to third parties, plus whatever it costs to administer the payment of this settlement to millions of gamers, are not to exceed $2 million. Geoffrey Pecover and Andrew Owens, the two plaintiffs who originally brought the suit, are entitled to $5,000 each as a “participation award.” That brings us to you. Under the proposed terms, anyone buying a Madden NFL, NCAA Football or Arena Football product from Jan. 1, 2005 forward is eligible for a portion of the settlement. A tiny portion. It’s $6.79 per title purchased for the PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox or GameCube. (It’s amusing that for the purposes of this settlement, the PC is considered a last-generation platform.) It’s $1.95 per title purchased for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Wii. And you’re capped at eight titles in each group. So if you’ve bought every Madden and every NCAA Football on the Xbox 360—an extreme but still plausible case—you’re still only getting $15.60. How that will be
