Gamers fed up, sue EA
A couple of US gamers have decided they're fed up with EA making exclusivity deals and have filed suit against the company.
The gamers have found that EA's exclusivity deals with the National Football League, the Arena Football League, and NCAA Football are making it impossible for competitors to make decent American Football games and create a monopoly that allows the company to raise prices of such games.
So what do you think? An easy way to earn a buck, or a waste of time & money?
The gamers have found that EA's exclusivity deals with the National Football League, the Arena Football League, and NCAA Football are making it impossible for competitors to make decent American Football games and create a monopoly that allows the company to raise prices of such games.
With no Take-Two competitor the following year, the suit notes that Electronic Arts raised the price of Madden 2006 back to $49.95, an increase of nearly 70 percent. The suit also brings up Electronic Arts' attempted acquisition of Take-Two, saying that it "would remove one of the few companies with the ability and expertise to compete in the market for interactive football software" if EA somehow lost its exclusive deals.

The plaintiffs are asking for restitution and damages for those who purchased an Electronic Arts football game since August of 2005, disgorgement of all profits made as a result of anticompetitive actions, and that the infringing agreements be declared null and void
EA has decided to not comment on the matter and the plaintiffs haven't responded to enquiries yet....

If there was other competition maybe the games would be a bit better made.

I find that not very good for a good competition as they more or less monopolize the market this way. They should be sued. Just like the European Union did against Microsoft.
