From VGC: "Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has given employees a frank appraisal of why he believes the company could be better off ending its 30-year relationship with FIFA.
In his most revealing comments yet on the status of licence negotiations with the footballing body, Wilson told staff in an internal company meeting in November that the FIFA license had been “an impediment” to EA’s ambitions for the game series."
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick joins 'Money Movers' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, how confident Zelnick is in the guidance for fall 2025, and much more.
Are they kidding? It's 4 letters but it spells out a word that's a massive brand today.
You know how many casual sport fan gamers buy this every year because of the world Fifa in the title, I mean it won't kill sales but I doubt it'll get as much recognition as it used to. It was one of (the many) reasons why it had an edge over PES.
They can't add any new modes or brands because FIFA won't allow it. They can't even add gameplay features and such without getting FIFA's approval first. I know it's EA, but it does genuinely seem like they've wanted to do more but FIFA blocks them at every step. On top of that, FIFA's demanding $2.5B over the next 10 years. That's $250M per year. That's not worth it, especially when FIFA actively hinders the end product.
To be completely honest though this doesn't surprise me. FIFA are known for being corrupt scumbags. They've had so many scandals.
What is Apple... Just 5 letters on a box... And a fruit
I think Andrew Wilson should remember that he's only the CEO today because he created one the most abusive system possible on FIFA fans.
This is literally a grifter complaining about the Italian Mafia.
