(almost) All things Madden (by request)
As a gamer I hate it but it's a good move by EA. Take all the money that was going to go into R&D for the madden series and instead use it to lock out competition. I'm surprised the NFL hasn't slapped together their own game studio and kept the license all to themselves. NFL in Europe shows they're looking for new sources of revenue and it's not like the game has to be any good to sell.
