A Battlefield 6 player has won a court case against EA over an account ban in Brazil. The player, known as Rychadv, shared the outcome on November 8, 2026.
Rychadv said he returned to the shooter after a long break to check out Season 4, only to encounter a ban notification at launch. He appealed before filing the lawsuit and described the response to that appeal as three dots, with no useful explanation.
He denied using cheats, exploits, or inappropriate chat while playing the game.
Taking the dispute to court
Rychadv used Brazil’s Juizado Especial Cível, a process for lower-complexity civil and consumer disputes similar to small claims court. Brazilian court guidance describes those proceedings as generally free to file.
The player said he submitted Windows records as evidence, describing them as showing that no unauthorized software or devices had been used on his PC. He also said EA appeared in the case and submitted a defense.
Rychadv represented himself because he is a lawyer. He said the filing came with no court fees or taxes and that the legal process cost him nothing.
Compensation and a fine
The player said the judgment included compensation and a fine against EA, although he did not disclose the amount of either payment.
In a follow-up, he described EA’s payment as roughly four times the price of the game, plus the fine.
