Battlefield 6 Player Sues EA for Allegedly Wrongfully Banning Their Account and Wins
While getting banned from a game usually means a player violated the Terms of Use (ToS) agreement, which, more often than not, constitutes cheating, hacking, boosting and so forth, there are those rare cases that some players do get banned accidentally or for the oddest reason.
One such incident has reportedly happened with one Battlefield 6 player, and they fought the ban not against EA or DICE, but in the courts and won!
Yes, this is a real story, which might give hope to some players wrongfully accused and banned in any game.
BF6 Player That Got Perma-banned Wins Court Case and Won
On the Battlefield subreddit, user Rychadv posted three months ago that their account had been banned and they didn’t know what they’d done. Per the user, “I simply launched the game and was greeted with a ban notification. I didn’t say anything inappropriate in the chat, nor did I use cheats, exploits or anything that would give me an unfair advantage over other players.”
They add, “I submitted an appeal against the ban, but I wasn’t given an explanation at all — just three dots (…). What upsets me the most is knowing that I didn’t do anything wrong and still having to go through this.”
Well, here we are three months later, and the same user posted that they ended up filing a lawsuit and the judge ruled in their favor! The user adds (thanks, DANNYonPC), “No justification. No proof. Nothing. Literally nothing,” regarding their ban.
Before anyone who got their account banned tries to find a lawyer to file a lawsuit, do note that this judgment was made in Brazil, and under the country’s laws. What did the ruling say? Read it yourself below:
The ruling states:
In view of the foregoing, I partially grant the initial requests made in this action, for which reason, pursuant to art. 487, item I, of the Code of Civil Procedure, with resolution of the merits, I RULE PARTIALLY IN FAVOR of the present claim, in order to:
a) CONFIRM the emergency injunctive relief granted at Event 11 and order that the defendant EA SWISS SÀRL permanently maintain the full and regular access of the plaintiff RYCH[REDACTED] to the electronic game Battlefield 6 and to the account registered under the identifier EA ID ‘TheRealRych’, with all licenses, progressions and content acquired, declaring null the banning sanctions applied on 28/07/2026 and 30/08/2026, subject to the user’s binding to the contractual guidelines in force and the possibility of imposing sanctions in the event of a duly proven future infringement, the requests for incidental production and those based on the LGPD being rendered moot, with the definition of any temporary non-compliance with the injunction and the enforceability of the daily fines (astreintes) to be carried out at the judgment enforcement stage;
As far as we’re aware, this seems to be the real deal, though it’s not mentioned whether the plaintiff also received compensation for their troubles. Don’t forget, every country has different laws on these things, so don’t assume the US courts will side in your favor if you ever attempt this. And of course, make sure, y’know, you actually didn’t do anything shady before filing one.
