Not in the case of Madden. EA actually had a competitor in that sport, and it was very successful - until EA simply bought the exclusive rights to the NFL. In other words, no other company is allowed to make an american Football game anymore, down to the rules!

So yeah, since no other was allowed to get an NFL license anymore, EA killed all potential competition with that move.

To be clear, the NFL actually offered that exclusivity to the highest bidder, and EA won. The NFL was the ones deciding to kill competition, not EA.

True, but the end result is the same. And I wonder who had that dumb idea at the NFL - wouldn't they earn more by having several licensees?
