I'm curious what they spend on the players that they are able to get to agree to have their likeness used. I'm sure it certainly isn't $600k per player

Depends on the player, but that's not how that number was determined.

I couldn't care less about EA having to pay. Whatever .
My bigger problem is why did Jim brown not want his likeness in the game in the first place and why would you care at all if they made a generic player like you and put it in a game ? Money grab doesn't make sense if he really is worth 50 million. Just seems kind of a slap in the face to browns fans who would like to play as him . if they portrayed him doing something derogatory OK ya but all they did was make him awesome at football how uptight do you have to be?

How was it determined? I'm not going to pretend I know anything about the law, but I would imagine if he isn't asking for something comparable to what he should get if he were in the game then the lawsuit would be a bit frivolous

It was the settlement amount so it's the amount EA offered him to get him to drop the lawsuit.

Re: Jim Brown Receives $600K Settlement Against EA

I know it shouldn't but the stuff I read from individuals against other individuals in favor of corporations surprises me every time. Mean ole' Jim Brown picking on poor lil' EA for using his likeness anyway after he told them they couldn't. Yeah it's all about Jim Brown and how he should be honored that EA would want to represent him in their game even after he declined, no need to sue for that, it's not like it's against the law or anything.

The responses in thread like this strike a sour cord with me, EA lost because they were deemed to have illegally used Jim Brown's likeness, among others, this isn't some one off case or misunderstanding this has been proven to be what EA did, repeatedly.
