Battlefield 6 Fan Wins Lawsuit Against EA Over Allegedly Baseless Lifetime Ban, Urges Others to Do the Same

A Brazilian court has ruled that a lifetime Battlefield 6 ban against a player known as Rychadv is invalid and ordered his access to the game restored.

Several weeks earlier, Rychadv said he had been permanently banned. He said the ban came without warning: he saw a notice when he launched the shooter.

His account sounded familiar for an online game:

I didn’t write anything offensive in chat, use cheats, exploits, or anything else that would give me an unfair advantage over other players. After a long break, I decided to return to the game and see what was new in Season 4. The very next day, when I logged in again, I was banned. I appealed the ban, but they didn’t explain anything at all. The response was just three dots (…). What frustrates me most is that I didn’t do anything wrong, but I still have to go through this.

At the time, many people assumed he was another “innocent” cheater complaining about a ban. But the story continued.

In early November, Rychadv returned to say that he had sued Electronic Arts and won:

Remember when I posted here in the community about how I was permanently banned from the game for absolutely no reason? I ended up taking them to court, and the judge ruled in my favor. No justification [for the ban]. No evidence. Nothing. There was literally nothing. So if you’ve experienced the same thing, I’d honestly recommend doing the same.
