Gamers Sue EA Games Over Madden Football.

Last week a pair of gamers sued EA, accusing them of cornering the Football gaming market, and as a result had an unfair advantage over competitors.  If you all remember in 2005 NFL 2K5 came out at a price that was less than half of what Madden costed.  2K5 immediately sold several million copies and EA was forced to drop their price to $30.  The next year EA signed a deal that gave them exclusive rights to players names and effectively killed the 2K franchise.  The next year Madden was back at its original price and there has not been a drop since.

We all know that EA has a complete monopoly on sports gaming but my hat is off to these two gamers who decided to try and do something about it.  Do I think they will win?  No.  But maybe just maybe they will and then we all can enjoy our yearly Madden roster updates for less.
