That's how a business should work.

But take a look at EA history. Their sentiment towards the NES. Their deliberate sabotage of Joe Montana Football. Their reverse-engineering of the Sega Megadrive. Bernie Stolar's interview where he reveals why EA never supported the Dreamcast. etc etc

Wasn't the main reason that 2k sport games are superior to EA sport games. 

The original link to bitmob is not working, but here is the interview. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=373962

I said, “I’ll agree to that, but you’ll be the only third-party publisher that will have sports. But you’re going to have to compete with us because I just bought Visual Concepts.” And he said, “No, no, no, no...then you should not do the deal with Visual Concepts.”

I said, “No it’s too late.” [Laughs] “We’ve already signed the documentation. We’ve already taken the steps.” So because of that, he did not go onto the platform.



I LOVE ICELAND!
