I mean it's a complete no-brainer.

Again, I have been affected by this as much as anyone else. I was a 2k player, really never played Madden at all. Never liked Madden, still don't. But I Am not going to call a business move unethical because of events that didn't go the way I would have liked.

At least EA put out a football 360 and PC game. They took the NASCAR game, and now I don't think there is a 360 or PC version coming out. That really stings. But it is what it is.
I'd certainly saying buying out the Arena and Legends licenses was certainly unethical because the sole motivation was to avoid competition. Football competition of any kind was unacceptable to EA.
