EA has exclusive rights for the NFL!

For anybody that keeps on video game news. Then you know this little story has rocked the video game this week. EA has bought the exclusive rights to the NFL license. What this means is that EA is the only video game company allowed to make a game using, well basically anything to do with the NFL. What this means is there is no more Sega ESPN Football (My personal Favorite), NFL Blitz, or GameDay by 989 sports. EA had a lot of competition from sega last year, so what do they do they just buy up the rights so no one can compete with them. This is so wrong, on so many levels. EA already has exclusive rights to NASCAR, PGA, and FIFA. I wouldn't doubt it if they go for MLB and NBA next.

Pretty soon EA is going to become a monopoly. They already own like half the video game companies. They already have a claims against them for not paying there workers and making them work ungodly hours. I don't think I'm going to buy another product from them until they start playing right. By that I mean they try besting other companies by making a better product, instead of either buying that company or making it so they cant make a certain game. This is starting to remind me of Microsoft.

Anyways you can read the full story here.
