mygamertalk.com - So that left me thinking. What does EA need to do in order to fix it’s biggest sports franchise? Take a year off.
There’s no doubting the impact that this week’s Presidential Election has had not just on the US but the whole world. While we can’t forget the result (be it good or bad, depending on your political leanings) we can at least distract ourselves with a few good old fashioned video games.
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
A jury in U.S. District Court today ruled in favor of Robin Antonick, the original designer and developer of Electronic Arts’ (NASDAQ: EA) best-selling Madden NFL Football games.
ouch, how many millions do EA owe Robin Antonick?
$200 million in revenues for games released between 1990 and 1996
Damages relating to 1997-2013 games will be tried in a subsequent phase of the trial. (I suspect $600 million more, just averaging out)
That is ALOOOT OF MONEY
EA is going to have to compensate 800 million dollar's worth!. Who wants to bet the next big EA title would be pay to win?
Antonick might be seeing hundreds of millions of dollars with this.
why it needs to take a CENTURY OFF - cause it sucks
why it will never happen - cause of the tools that keep buying it year after year
Soon, this will happen to the Call Of Duty series. DON'T MILK!
When your game's selling like hotcakes (CoD, Madden), why would the publisher take a year off and risk all of those potential sales for that one year?
Of course, we gamers here on N4G would love to see that happen, but in reality, money talks and profits and sales is what drives the majority of these companies to pump out these games on an annual basis.
Now, if the sales were to dip quite significantly due to rapidly diving quality, performance, and popularity, this option wouldn't sound so mad in the eyes of EA, Activision, etc.
year off because you wont be missing anything.you get the same game every year with new,fancy names of the same thing you already DO or already GOT.like when they introduced the "flashlight" to scan the field when gamers did that on their own.
will never happen because of "GREED" from EA,ESPN,NFL and investors.
