EA May Lose Exclusive NFL License

EA May Lose Exclusive NFL License

None

Even hardcore Madden gamers were disappointed to see EA get an exclusive license from the NFL because the deal made it impossible for anyone else to compete and consequently raised the price of the game. Now it is looking like EA may lose the license it gained last year due to problems between the league and the players association.

“The current problems in the NFL between the league and the players association might make the EA/NFL contract void. This is because if the union decertifies, then anti-trust rules will apply. If this happens, then EA is out of luck. Antitrust laws would be in effect and the contract would be voided,” GamersReports has noted.

We will keep you posted as more develops on this story.
