The last big class action lawsuit involving a game or game series ended up paying out something around $15-$35 for everyone involved which didn't even cover the cost of buying the game new at the time. The lawyers made millions of dollars from the GTA San Andreas "Hot Coffee" lawsuit.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up like game boycotts where people end up keep buying the Madden games in the future or games from EA.

Only reason NFL 2k5 was $20 was due to Sega/Take-Two eating the losses to gain sales away from Madden and people mistakenly believing future NFL 2k games would be cheap.
