Shmokes,
It's simple. I won't buy it. No demand because the price is too high, higher than anybody is willing to pay.
Same reason I don't go to watch football games at the stadium, the price is too high.
I don't even buy new games at walmart. I wait until 2004 to buy 2002 games for $5 at the re-run stores.
Ever hear of "do without" ? If the price of the games is higher than people want to pay, they don't sell enough units, etc. People will go to the baseball games, or hockey, or maybe Mame.
It's true capitalism. In this case study, EA spends big money and if they fall apart and there are new players in a year or two. It's an adjustment driven by the free market.
Are you just upset because you have to spend another $15 dollars on a game? Do you really think that EA will actually corner some market anywhere? Did you stop to consider the NFL's view on this? Why did they do that? It's EA's gamble, and if they don't do well, they can't afford to do it next year.
If Sega gets it next year are we supposed to boycott them? Come on man.
You don't have to worry. You can afford it either way, after all Bush is in and we'll all get a nice Tax check back
I don't care either way really. I never played any of these football games. I tore apart a dedicated NFL Blitz and parted it out and turned it into a 9 in 1 anyway. I had to paint over all those stickers on the side to do it
It had a great 25" monitor.
My son plays Jak and Dexter and Halo. NFL games bore me to tears anyway and 9 out of 10 kids I see at my house pay Mario brothers instead.
Tell you what, gage your support. Start a new poll.
1 - I care if EA is the sole NFL gamemaker
2 - I couldn't care less about EA games or the NFL
3 - I like pie
No 3 would be the No 1
