EA Sports has delisted its FIFA back catalogue from digital storefronts
EA Sports has delisted its FIFA back catalogue from digital storefronts
The move coincides with the release of the first EA Sports FC game…
EA has stopped paying for the FIFA license, which is why their next game is called EA Sports FC (Football Club)
This resulted in them delisting every single FIFA game from digit storefronts, including the less than a year old FIFA 2023
This company is the worst
It's licensing terms. FIFA was asking for double its $150 million licensing fee to allow Electronic Arts to continue using its name.
FIFA doubling the license cost is clearly bullshit. EA has decided that the FIFA brand in their game is not worth $300 Million, and the existing license requires them to discontinue sales once the license expires.
Can't really blame EA for saving $300 Million for something that doesn't really matter, especially when it used to cost half that. This 100% is FIFA being greedy, as usual.
At the end of the day, both FIFA and EA are horrible companies. No one should be giving them any money whatsoever.
The reality of things is that we all know that EA will launch their own brand, publish the re-badged FIFA titles under it, and then continue farming mtx money from people, who have no self-control
I despise ea as everyone, but this is the only time EA is right tbf.
What’s a good game for soccer (football for non Americans don’t jump down my throat please) these days? I mostly play the PS2 madden games when I need my sports game fix, and there are plenty of mods to bring those up to date
the answer is, Fifa (now ea sports fc). there's a reason that it's the only game in town when it comes to the most popular sport on the planet. For all it's many many faults around ethics, it's far and away the "best"
None as far as I know. If someone knows the answer I'd be interested as well.
Fifa used to be decent for extremely casual social gaming with friends in person.
Everything else has been horrible for years.
PES is dead. We don't name whatever is out there now to replace it, no one should
Look up smoke patch, it's a free version of pes21(?) With updated transfers. It's pretty fun
