>(1) JUDGE DENIES PLAINTIFFS' CLASS STATUS IN CLAIM AGAINST EA'S ULTIMA
>ONLINE
>
> A San Diego Judge yesterday ruled that attorneys for the six
>remaining plaintiffs (unhappy gamers) did not provide enough evidence
>to file against Electronic Arts [ERTS] as a class.
> The plaintiffs, who could file claims against EA as individuals,
>were irritated by their experience while playing EA subsidiary Origin
>System's Ultima Online, a massively multiplayer online game with more
>than 90,000 subscribers.
> With the Judge's decision, hopefully disgruntled online gamers
>realize that game publishers shouldn't be accountable for Internet
>latency or the conduct of fellow players. We can't hold the U.S.
>Postal Service responsible for delivering a letter with offensive
>statements in it, can we? (EA, Pat Becker, 650/513-7523)
