No, it just means they have to pay more in royalties now.

# 5 footballfan41, I work for myself so I do "know what it's like". But people don't have to own their own business or be in business for themselves in order to understand the basic concept that if you sign papers stating that you will pay someone royalties, you are under legal and moral obligation t do so.

If he sues for games made after 1996, and wins, will people, then, stop giving me a hard time when I say that Madden has changed very little since it's inception...?

They aren't wasting the money, though.

More people will not buy the game because of no real NFL teams, no real NFL players than will buy it with all the modding in the World.

They're making a hell of a lot more money this way because than they can change a couple things here and there, make the game a tiny bit better and everyone will still buy it the next year because they want the most up-to-date rosters available and unfortunately, you have to pay $60 a year for that.

those that say Keller or O'Bannon are d-bags, do you also realize that Bill Russell is also a member of this lawsuit? So is he a money grubbing d-bag? This was eventually going to happen, there has been too much discussion about paying players for it not to come up. Players are no longer just letting it slide how schools and companies are making so much money off of them yet they can't earn extra income.

They still can't pay the players. Way too much of a legal can of worms to open up.
