Electronic Arts signs licensing deal with ESPN
BLAMMO! SOCKO, KERPLOWY!
EA sports scores a knockout blow and a new low in video gaming with a 15 year licensing deal with ESPN giving them full first rights to all of the major cable networks shows, stars, footage and pretty much anything else. Electronic Arts signs licensing deal with ESPN | CNET News.com
Wow, this is really getting crazy. Multi million dollar monopoly deals going on over professional sports. I personally will not be buying anymore EA games, which is sad because there are a few I love. I just can't support this kind of a company that squashes the competition with the only game in town.
If people were not so fanatical about their sports teams I would say this is no big deal, but the fact is that without any NFL players or teams or even stadiums, every other football game out there has not a chance in the market to ever make it big.
People just don't care about the sport anymore. It's all about the colors.
