mygamertalk.com - Who would have guessed that after only a week of sales, retailers are having to discount the newest version of Madden. I’m completely shocked. I thought I was the only one who’s fed up with the bite sized updates every year.
There’s no doubting the impact that this week’s Presidential Election has had not just on the US but the whole world. While we can’t forget the result (be it good or bad, depending on your political leanings) we can at least distract ourselves with a few good old fashioned video games.
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
A jury in U.S. District Court today ruled in favor of Robin Antonick, the original designer and developer of Electronic Arts’ (NASDAQ: EA) best-selling Madden NFL Football games.
ouch, how many millions do EA owe Robin Antonick?
$200 million in revenues for games released between 1990 and 1996
Damages relating to 1997-2013 games will be tried in a subsequent phase of the trial. (I suspect $600 million more, just averaging out)
That is ALOOOT OF MONEY
EA is going to have to compensate 800 million dollar's worth!. Who wants to bet the next big EA title would be pay to win?
Antonick might be seeing hundreds of millions of dollars with this.
sports games should cost no more than 30 bucks
You know, I still have plenty of fun playing NFL 2k2 . . . I don't care who's on the teams, it's just football!!
these madden games don't change alot from year to year....hell, I can pick madden '09 up for five bucks and get almost the same game......and don't try to tell me about the little subtle changes they made in animations or the roster changes, theyre not worth sixty bucks....2K5 was the last great football sim....not that they changed alot either, but they had cooler features and it launched at a lot cheaper than madden.....
Still way too much to pay for a roster update.
I can't believe all the dumbasses who buy this every single year.
Instead of releasing a new game every year just release one and sell updates online. "Madden:For Awhile"
But than how would they rip people off every year?
