IGN heads straight to the source to find out the latest on the videogame license.
The NFL treated a group of writers to a tour of their offices in New York the week of the draft, and while we were there, Tim Langley, the manager of consumer products for the league and the man behind the infamous EA Sports exclusivity deal agreed to answer a few questions from the pool of journalists. Here is what he had to say…
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
EA doesnt have to do anything to make madden any better as long as the license is exclusive. But the NFL is probably OK with that as they have full and absolute control. They dont care about better as long as they have control.
This dude is clearly planted by EA into the NFL. He's talking about how much access EA has to the real sport. Yet....... that does not help them in anyway too make a better game. either that, or they have a team of blind dev dudes checking out the highlights. I only say that because the sound on Madden usually rocks while everything else flat out sucks ars!
2K FOOTBALL will help spur competition. I vowed not to play a football game again untill 2K comes back and I've been doing great with the promise.
this guy sucks like e.a.'s rep of football
