EA Sports : Not again!!

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/851/851316p1.html

February 12, 2008 - In 2004 EA Sports shocked the world of videogames by announcing a deal with the National Football League that gave them the exclusive rights to publish games under the NFL brand. Gamers everywhere cried foul over the agreement that essentially took one of our most beloved football franchises, NFL 2K, out of the yearly grudge match. The original deal was signed through 2009 but today EA Sports announced that it's completed negotiations with the NFL and NFLPA (NFL Players' Association) to extend the exclusive license through the 2012 season.

There was a thread on here a week or two ago about this topic. Many tears were shed.

Did not have time to scan for all threads on this, I am not online that much. Just amazes me that they do this. God forbid they have any competition... I fancy text sims anyway, but just blows me away to read an article like this.

How come EA gets so much of the blame but it seems so little of the anger gets directed at the NFL?

Because folks have plenty of other reasons to hate EA as well?

Because it's the NFLPA to blame, not the NFL.

Because they've done shit with their exclusive license. They've actually regressed.
