FIFA wants $1b for 4 years and more from EA *update* FIFA pulling exclusivity

[Hey_zeus]

EA can't even pay the NBA to let them make Live and Fifa ringing em out like a protection business. Hold this L

 

[King Kai]

you hate to see it happen to good guy EA

 

[Ruck]

Karma. fukk u EA! Hurry up and make a NCAA football.

Fifa is by far their most popular videogame sports franchise worldwide...and it ain't remotely close.

EA will ante up.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Still cannot wrap my head around why these leagues would want a monopoly on their game? Can't get 1 billion... Let 30 companies split it and all drop a game.. How does that hurt you to have more games and more clients?

this is like the apple vs epic case, i don't even know who to root for.

its clear FIFA is strong arming EA on the license (thats a terrible deal and theres no other way to cut it) but EA kind of been giving their fans half assed annual releases for years, especially on nintendo.

You shouldn't feel obligated to take sides or 'root' for any corporation.

FIFA is notorious for being corrupt and EA is known for not giving a damn about what consumers think. You are looking for something that isn't there, never was, and will never be there.

Still, theres a lesser of evils.

Fifa is only the brand of the World Cup and a popular name. Without them, EA still has the rights to all the leagues and players. Nothing would change

Everyone gonna be making a FIFA game next year, FIFA fortnite

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

high time to bring back arcade sports games.

[Cladyclad]

1 billion every 4 years!?!? for the video game license??!?

FIFA bring in billions for EA. Without even counting the actual sales of the game

 

[Diondon]

Strong arming shyt like what the MLB pulled with Sony.
Only thing is they thought Xbots bought games
