Dear EA, here's how not to rip your loyal fans off

The rumours of Konami securing the Champions League license had been doing the rounds for a couple of months and all that while there was a fear that Konami would do the unthinkable – release Champions League as a separate game, just like EA Sports did. Today's announcement, stating that the Champions League would be integrated into Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, has allayed those fears, but it makes one think – why didn't EA do that when they had the license? Why didn't they put the Champions League in their annual flagship FIFA titles, rather than milking it the way they did and forcing people to buy something that, frankly, didn't offer anything new at all?
