EA stäms för exklusiva sportspel

EA har stämts av en grupp konsumenter på grund av speljättens exklusiviteter för sportspel som NFL, berättar Darkzero. Efter fyra år ska denna stämning nu tas till rätten.

Denna grupp anser att EA, med sina exklusivitetsavtal med bland andra NFL, hindrar konkurrenter i branschen, däribland NFL 2K5-skaparna Take Two Interactive.

"Through an unlawful and anticompetitive series of exclusive agreements with the National Football League, the NFL Players Union, Arena Football League and the National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA"), Electronic Arts has driven its competition out of the market for interactive football software, including most significantly Take Two Interactive Software, Inc., the maker of the interactive football software title NFL 2K5 and has prevented additional competitors from entering the market."

EA själva anser sig vara oskyldiga.
