[QUOTE="Admin, post: 53877, member: 1"] We now have a clue to why EA Sports is considering changing the name of FIFA, its giant football franchise. [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/sports/soccer/ea-sports-fifa.html']The New York Times[/URL] reports that there's a dispute between EA, the developer of the FIFA games, and FIFA, the worldwide football organization. The disagreement is reportedly over cost and new revenue streams. According to the report, FIFA wants to charge EA $1 billion every four years to use the FIFA license within its game. Additionally, the organization wants to limit EA's monetization of the game. FIFA wants to limit EA's moneymaking opportunities to strictly what can be found in the game. EA wants to explore monetizing, "highlights of actual games, arena video game tournaments and digital products like NFTs," the New York Times says.

The license only gives EA the name, logo, and rights to use the World Cup within the game. It seems a decision is likely by the end of the year.
