Gamers Sue EA for 'Anticompetitive Conduct'


Maybe someone is finally going to make a dent in EA?
Quote:
Two gamers have filed a class-action lawsuit against Madden publisher Electronic Arts. Filed in the US District Court of Northern California, the suit states that EA's 2004 and 2005 obtainment of the exclusive NFL, AFL and NCAA licenses constitutes "blatantly anticompetitive conduct." In response to the allegations, the duo wish to see EA surrender the profits that stemmed from those actions, the voiding of the exclusivity contracts, and restitutions offered to those that havy purchased any EA-branded football game since 2005.

While they're at it, why not sue the NFL for being the only substantive professional football league? Make them give up their profits. Its anti-competative, right? Let's make them pay restitution.
:sigh:
