Spoiler'd for fucking enormous.

tl;dr:
EA getting class-action sued for having a monopoly on football sim games. Current proposed settlement is $27m, with $9m going to lawyers and $2m for fees.
Anyone else get this email or know anything else about it?Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL, NCAA Football, or Arena Football videogames for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, PC, or GameCube platforms (“Sixth Generation Purchasers”) will be valued at $6.79 per new game purchased, up to a total of eight units ($54.32).
Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL or NCAA Football videogames for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii platforms (“Seventh Generation Purchasers”) will be valued at $1.95 per new game purchased, up to a total of eight units ($15.60).
Edit: Apparently I missed the thread on this; search came back negative. Either way, looks like this is moving forward. Who's gonna claim their settlement money? Should be enough to pay for a cup of coffee next time you're out and about.
