Is football limited to NFL? As far as I know besides the college leagues you can also go the way PES done in the past, even before Winning Eleven, and not license the game... I believe Sega done it as well for some sports and T2K. The NFL license belongs to NFL and they may sell the right to use to anyone they want and since you don't own NFL or its license what would be your ground for the class action? "I want to play this game on this console and I can't so they own me 1M USD"? |
They sold the rights and within the contract EA is obligated to release on as many viable platforms as possible. I suppose that excludes the PC for Madden (I have no clue because I'd never download origin) but I assume they don't make Madden for PC. So technically EA is in breach of contract but they will always come back with the viable clause. You know what might be viable on the Switch? NFL 2K series. NFL needs to shred the EA contract and start allowing other companies to make NFL games again. No one would give a shit about American football game that isn't licensed by the NFL.
