'Madden NFL' game creator sues EA

LOS ANGELES - The man who created the first version of the uber-successful "Madden NFL Football" video game is suing Electronic Arts over tens of millions of dollars in owed royalties and potentially billions in profits over the franchise, which has sold more than 85 million copies in the more than 20 years since it hit the marketplace.

hopefully because of this the NFL would take away its exclusive deal with EA and allow SEGA and other companies to make NFL games.

This is a joke, you don't wait 21 years to sue a company if you have a valid claim. This is another damn fortune seeker that is trying to screw a lot of people so he can have a pay day.

Reading helps,

"Only recently, as a result of publicity surrounding the 20th Anniversary of the 'Madden' videogame did Antonick become aware that Electronic Arts did not independently develop subsequent versions of its Madden NFL software," says the complaint. "Instead, according to recent statements by Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, the current generation of software apparently derived from software developed by Antonick."

Further, he claims to not have received any royalties for his game for years.

Let me highlight the "recently become aware that they were still using his software" part .

If it was just a money grab , he'd have done it a few years ago , at the peak of madden's success

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
