ea monopoly on football games
excuse me if i come across as bitter about this.
i dont play sports games, this wont really matter to my personal life too much.
but the liberal in me is outraged.
ea has bought the right to be the exclusive video game developer for the nfl.
from the article:
"Under the terms of the deal, no one else will be allowed to develop or publish a video game (for any system) featuring NFL teams, players, stadiums or footage for the next five years."
this is outrageous. totally legal, but totally whack. or jacked. or whatever term you want to use.
ea managed to create (or rather, managed to buy) a complete monopoly on football video games. madden is now the only game in town. because not too many people are going to buy games with completely madeup players, teams, stadiums or footage.
im amazed.
