Are sports fans the biggest coomsumers out of all media?, think about it, they will literally refuse to play a game if it doesn't have a jpg of their favorite player or their team. They're quite literally degenerate gamblers on par if not more than gacha players.
Is there a monopoly on sports game?, like, can I just make a fortnite looking football game that just has made up players and teams or you legally can't?, some of the best sports games that I've played have had nothing to do with hyper realism of having real players and real teams, seasons, and all that sports bullshit.
You can make any sports game you want. The licenses are just for real life leagues and teams, but that's really important since that's what sports fans care for the most.
thank god, now they'll just HAVE* to curtail dev budget making the next game (if they renew) a budget shovelware title that'll amass a lot of criticism from the usual fans
*have in the sense of ea pocketing money for execs and shareholders and screw the devs

worse, my friend only buys PS5 to play FIFA
ew, tell your friend to off himself
Sports games are gacha now
*a decade ago
fix that for you
Yes
Fifa should ask even more every year until EA cannot pay up. Then there will be no more shitty p2w games like Fifa.
EA is in the process to change the title of the game to EA Sports FC so...
FIFA is a valuable IP that prints money for EA.
They earn a lot more with rehashed FIFA titles
why do they wait until now to demand license fee?
the pandemic hit football industry that hard?
You moronic, son? The license is just gonna expire and they are asking more because the revenue that EA has earned using the license has gone up.

The well known players and teams are the reason to buy the sports games.
>Is there a monopoly on sports game?
there isn't but football coonsumers only want to play games with real name and shit
No
You just need it to include teams and individuals under whatever institution they are under, and it's quite a clusterfrick too
Dont worry EA will earn ten times that from Fifa Booster Packs alone
