EA Sports Deals the Death Blow

I don't get the new deal? What does that mean exactly?

Let's recap:

Last month EA pissed on us by getting an exclusive deal with the No Fun League. This raised questions on how SEGA would handle this. But after a while, people already had thoughts of an ESPN Football 2K6 title; a completely customizable game. This wasn't made certain by SEGA, but it seemed pretty obvious.

Now EA Sports nabbed ESPN for themselves as well, preventing SEGA from using the presentation that allowed SEGA to smoke Madden's '05 game recently. Now SEGA has a great football engine, and literally nothing else.

Isn't Fox Sports taken by another developer?

Anyway, this will bottle the football game side of things by making sure everyone looks to ONE place for an NFL game. Whatever. ESPN NFL '05 had EA Sports pissing their pants and look at how they face competition; a buyout. Not a better game, a better deal.

And reading about the rest of Electronic Arts exploits across seas, it's safe to say we have a real life Umbrella Corp. on our hands. And I always thought Microsoft would be the bullies.
