Re: Free $ if you bought an EA game in the past 7 years
I think they have to have sent you something in the mail with a code on it. If not you can't claim anything.
edit:It looks like they changed it, you had to have a code when I looked at it before.
Quote:
If after receiving all valid claims, the claims administrator determines that the net settlement amount is sufficient to pay out all the valid claims submitted, then each valid claim will be paid out at the values listed above. If, however, the claims administrator determines that the net settlement amount is not enough to pay out all the valid claims submitted, then the claim amounts will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
If I understand this correctly, the $27 million dollars isn't going to be nearly enough and people won't see anywhere near $20 or $5 a game.

Many settlements require no proof or purchase whatsoever. In some cases, a proof of purchase is required if a consumer is claiming to have purchased more than a certain number of a particular item. Other times, a high priced product may require some proof of purchase, but that could be a credit card statement or something similar, rather than an original receipt, so this should never deter you from claiming your just reward.
Of course, you should only file for settlement for products that you actually purchased. Lying about purchasing something is not cool.

Most of these cases involve products bought many years ago, and it is unlikely any consumer would keep a receipt or other proof of purchase. Do you keep the receipts for a pair of shoes, or Nutella spread they bought five years ago? If a receipt was required, none of the affected consumers would be able to claim their settlement money. So instead most mass consumer product settlements use an honor system for filing claims.
This trust based system does open them up to abuse, by people filing fraudulent claims. The legal philosophy that underpins the system is that as the party that wronged consumers, it is better the company bear the cost of these fraudulent claims than to deny the victims their just compensation.
Of course this does not mean you should file a fraudulent claim. Lying is not cool.

Well I should at least try to get some money for the Madden 08 game I played on my 360. If I need to prove it for some reason I have achievements from around 08 to back me up.
