>could pay for the licenses before loot boxes
>suddenly can't now
So we're all in agreement that if Hawley's bill gets fucked it's because of Kotaku/Polygon/etc

damn i've been flaccid for the last week but reading this post just awakened the beast

Maybe if these ridiculously overpriced license deals went away, we'd see actual innovation in the sports genre, rather than the shitty games that are heavily regulated by the respective leagues that only succeed due to franchise rights.aybe some actual competition will come about.

What, you need a license to make a game about kicking balls or slapping at them with your hands? They probably only need licenses to use shit like real player names and naming their games after shit in real sports. They can drop all that and make literally the same game, can't they?

Baby, you have no idea.

Maybe you shouldn't spend millions upon millions on marketing you fucking retards.

>gaming journalists batting for the corporations when their most despicable practices are about to be banned

You guys are fucking ingrates. EA has been a cornerstone of the industry for decades. Without them there wouldn't even be a videogame industry for you to abuse and defile like this.

loot boxes didn't exist in sports games during gen 5, gen 6 and most of gen 7 and they did just fine.

Yes, the licences give rights to player and team names but nothing is stopping anybody from making a game with oc teams and players.

WE CAN'T STOP MAKING SPORTS GAMES!!!

Yes, of course we want EA shits to cease existing.

Yes and hangtime but thats just an extension

I just want to see a return to more “arcadey” styles of sports games like NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. Seriously the only sports games I’ve ever touched.

the games are mostly played now by the same people who play fantasy sports. its ALL about the real players. These games literally emulate opening packs of baseball cards

I believe you are confusing ea with nintendo

Nintendo is an obscure company that makes baby toys.

So, I went in thinking this post was tweet was fake.. low and behold it's real. Stuff like this is the reason people don't take "gaming journalism" seriously anymore. This BS falls square on horrible companies like EA / Activism for blowing half the budget on marking. Seriously, fuck them and fuck Polygon

Thinking about it, what do you reckon the dev costs of the yearly sports games are? Outside licencing fees I don't see it being all that expensive as it's probably 90% reused assets from the previous one.

Because its a fact that almost nobody here buys xbox.

So were sports video games that used licenses always threatened before microtransactions and loot boxes become a norm or what?

POWER VACUUM

Why don't these fans just pick a madden and crowdsource a mod that changes stats.

and when a player leaves, delete the name and replace it with a new one. The fantasy players that care so deeply WILL find it

>Sports games can't afford licenses

Madden is LITERALLY used as a sim in ESPN commentary for all these obtuse scenarios, how are they not getting a kickback?

It poses no threats. These games make more than enough money to be grossly profitable after licensing even without microtransactions.

I hope sports games get banned along with loot boxes.

yeah because the playstation was the first console to be big in europe so it had a stronger brand and ps4 launched 100€ cheaper than xbone

Mass Effect was pretty overrated before ME3, but was pretty good until ME3 came out and totally fucked everything, and then Andromeda came out and was just laughably garbage, and then they """fixed it""" by releasing patches and turned it into just a shit game.

I don't know if sports games themselves have a serious loot box issue, but they bring in quite a bit of dosh to help pay expensive licenses to NFL and so on, which are massive beasts in the entertainment industry. If EA can't afford to get the actual teams in the game, normies will stop buying them, so they're actually losing two big sources of revenue.

So yeah that's a fucking weird thing to try to say.

Now maybe there's something to say with EA and their exclusive deal with NFL games/Madden but as far as getting rights to use a Teams name it's super fucking cheap.

The license price only went up because they pay. If they lose the money, the price will fall. Sport companies always had this nearly pyramidal system of getting their money, since their "costs" are not tied to physical values, just speculation on itself.

western news is dead as fuck and leftists are the most aware about it. It was the far left that first called Trump's victory once Hilary rubbed Bernie out, the media continues to refuse seeing their mistakes despite their huge loss in 2016

>Name 3 ideals that conflict between the majority of leftists and the news narrative.

- Russia didn't hack Trump into the White House, a failed capitalist enterprise has forced it.
- China's suppression of unions and laborers is itself fascism, and cannot be otherwise excused
- the west merely exported all it's pollution to China and banning plastic straws or gas cars won't do shit when solar panels are made in filthy Chinese mines
- America wages war for Israel and Trump is the biggest Zionist to ever inhabit the oval office
- Israel is a fascist country that wants to replace a multi-cultural society like Jerusalem with a Jewish state
- black people are disproportionally affected by gun control

Corporations aren't people, and the laws that treat the corporate entities as persons are vile, wicked satanism.

That's exactly what happened in the 19th century and is why 49 states ban gambling. It's also why the one state that does allow gambling, Nevada, prohibits minors from gaming. Nevada also bans exactly what you are suggesting, where paid random gift bags given out as comps are 21+ only.

sports games (specifically madden and FIFA) are consistently the highest selling titles on the market, at $60, each and every year.

if someone tries to tell you that anti-lootbox legislation is a threat to them you should slap them in the face for either being too stupid to think for half a second or for being such a corporate apologist.

Just because your country only has two real parties that doesn't mean one is "right" and one is "left". Fucking learn what the words mean.

Yikes, take your own advice corporate slut

Why do you think arcades give out tickets and can only give out predetermined prizes, listed clearly on a back wall? Because if they gave out random gift bags like you suggest, they'd be caught under gambling bans and forced to close. This is also why many cities ban all forms of arcade machines especially mechanically-driven pinball machines, since pinball was the patchinko of it's era. Bans on electronic gaming devices due to the prevalence of video poker machines and online gambling also hurt arcades in the 90s and 00s because actual poker rooms were fucking things up for everyone else. It's also why Chuck-E-Cheese and Showtime Pizza are banned in a lot of places, too.

The irony is that EA is the reason licenses are so expensive because before, everyone was able to use sports teams, it was only when EA paid a shitload of money to give them exclusive rights.

So EA can eat shit. Polygon can eat shit too.
Go Mad Ants!

Notice how there's been many calls for banning cards, and many cities ban mcdonalds toys outright.

Also again 49 states (again, 98% of America) banned gambling outright and has no problem expanding it's definition at the Federal level. This is the same Federal government that banned US-based escort sites last year.

Attached: Skeleton Yes.jpg (933x356, 193K)

it's not on EA themselves it's on the NFL. NFL 2k5 was fucking 20 dollars and that competition forced EA to make their yearly madden cheaper (think it was still like $30 or $40 though.) Seeing this "devaluation" of their brand made them throw a fucking hissyfit so they monopolized their license and EA won that bidding war. with no competition, why bother competing price-wise? People will pay for it anyway. It's disgusting but that's just how it goes.

This isn't even a ban, its another "you have to be a proven adult to do thing and you can only sell thing to proven adults." law that we have countless others of.

Valve has an aftermarket so that you can just buy the shit you actually want.
Its not nearly as bad as the other's shit when you have no choice but to play the gamble game.

Commies are using trannies to attack society in order to create disorder, weaken insitutions and create an 'oppressed minority' they can incite to rise up. They then will be taken outside and shot after the Party has control.

Exactly
In the US it's not legally gambling if the thing you are trying to get has no value. This is why this type of bill has failed in just about every other country that tried to push it through.

Careful with that edge there.

If you wish death onto others, don't be surprised when the knife is against your throat.

It already is.

The only people who are in favor of lootboxes are people making money off them or idiots with impulse problems

I knew someone would do this. Thanks for rewarding my faith

>Valve has an aftermarket so that you can just buy the shit you actually want
God I fucking love it. Other games see the what Valve has and go "oh yeah that's great, let's also sell keys for $2" but having something you can barter with or go buy directly is really nice when you're vain but lacking a gambling addiction

yeah but it would defacto kill the industry, as the only practical way of implementing it would be to sidestep the ESRB and create a rule where any game that includes lootboxes would have to list itself as such and could only be sold to people over 21 with an ID check. Not only does this defacto ban online sales of lootbox games, but it also means that any pissed off soccermom or mormon can sue a store they think it sold a game that has a microtransaciton in it as a lootbox game. This would immiedately lead to a chilling affect as physical retailers would start demanding games restrict online features, meanwhile online retailers would be dealing with constant litigation alleging they're online casinos.

At the very least it would destroy the current business model, most f2p mobile games and live service looter shooters would get hurt.

I agree, but act like the exact same thing isn’t true of the right and “real” capitalism

>people actually think if EA can't do lootboxes they'll go "oh damn guess we stop every shitty practice ever, time to make a new Monkey Island or something"
If this gets passed it will just be another "are you an adult" checkbox that kids will click.

Only people that play sports games are dads and black people

Why do you want those skins to begin with?
Is it simply because they are rare and hard to get and thus have value simply because of that fact?

no because the government will regulate it at the point of sale, making any merchant (everyone between walmart, google, visa and wells fargo) liable if they don't take steps to enforce the spirit of the law. This already happens with existing gaming services, guns and liquor. In the lattermost cases, damage from illegal sales is borne directly by the merchant which would readily be the case here due to jurisprudence. Visa is not going to let people buy a lootbox game if they're constantly being sued by women claiming their ex-boyfriend cleaned their card out with it.

There is no punishment too great for killing Pandemic.

I have a hard time believing these license deals suddenly cost billions of dollars, even for the bigger sports games, this article reeks of corporate dick sucking.(Or just plain ignorance on the author's part, which wouldn't be all that surprising since most game journalists on the big sites are pretty fucking stupid.)

i play nba 2k and i guarantee the bill will not change anything for sports games, since they have built in auction houses. that technically gives access to all the content even if you dont buy loot boxes.

mfw playing this in middle school with the lads

>I have a hard time believing these license deals suddenly cost billions of dollars,
user, you have no Idea how much it will costs using the name of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, in that regard it is justified those rights are DAMN expensive, but that doesn't mean that we the users should pay for them.

This seems like an epic thread. Can I get a (you) too?

If you wanted (You)s
Just ask next time

the EA is the beast, the natural incarnation of the greed of modern system. You think getting rid of EA will solve the problem? No. It will only create a huge gap which will be vulnarable for filling up with something even worse than EA.

The thing about licensing deals is that, especially with the IP usage, they are never renewed on an annual basis.
These deals are usually for 10 year periods, see EA's Star Wars and some of their earlier NFL deals. Even then at most they have been on record paying roughly $52 million for both the Madden name and the NFL game license. This is probably so low because they will get more than enough money back from a percent royalty agreement with both parties. Which given the sports franchises make literally billions then a 5% kickback is more than reasonable.

I'm pointing a finger at them too. Stupid motherfuckers were all told the government was going to get involved if this shit got too bad and they won't stop at just lootboxes.

Yes please.

Actually it's all good advice. It's called moderation you massive retard. If you eat too much, you become obese, if you sleep too much, you become a slob, if you play too much, you become edonist. It's by doing all of that you shorten your lifespan.

The blame isn't partially theirs, it's entirely theirs. They had one fucking job and it was to prevent this but when push came to shove they just threw their arms up and said "Yo, not our problem."
No wonder the government stepped in.

sportsball leagues shouldn't be able to sell exclusivity in the first place, and their license costs would be lower as a result of lower profitability due to resulting increased competition and also the ban on gambling boxes
polygon is real good at economy as usual

I'm not sure how FIFA works, is there a PA that the players are all part of? If not, then yeah, okay, I could see the FIFA costs being high if each individual player owns their likeness.
The NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB though? All active players are a package deal with each league's Players' Association, there's no way the PAs are going to be demanding billions all of a sudden.(You might just see retired legends/hall of famers removed from the ultimate team modes in those games, if it even sticks around without MTs.)

>Americans defending corporations
heh, classic

Yeah fuck em, what they've done to the industry has been so destructive it's absolutely mind boggling.

>nooo STOP exposing my hypocrisy!11!1

some goddamn integrity or for them all to die

You're wrong as hell.

If I say Nintendo to people, they'll say "okay, Nintendo". If I say Football to different people, they might think of two completely different sports

the price of the license increases as the profitability of the games increases, because they are just rent seekers arguing over the split. there is no competition in this space at it exists now

Yeah I know, I was making fun of how they pretend to be for their audience.

In FIFA there are some players that own their own rights so the licensing issues with FIFA are alot trickier.

Also I think that not all stadiums can be used so freely even when they are FIFA aproved stadiums.

IS a fuck up with loyalties too expensive but the renew this generates is just too damn big to ignore.

>If I say Football to different people, they might think of two completely different sports
lol wrong

Why the fuck are y'all faggots hating on the word y'all?

because southerners aren't human and neither are the progs that have purloined it as a gender neutral pronoun

>someone should think of the corporation's money
>they should be allowed to abuse consumers!

yes it is important to preserve psychological exploitation of addictive personalities and children with undeveloped brains so that rent seekers may continue to make large piles of cash for recycling the same shit every year

No, fucking commiefornians and liberal faggots aren't human.
Y'all ain't a fucking (((gender neutral))) pronoun, it's fucking y'all.

What they did to visceral games?
Yes

No.

Imagine being this assblasted over a state's mere existence

between their love for fascist economics that they inexplicably conflate with socialism and their need for strict cultural hygiene they have more in common with third positionism than communism

Are these sports games really that profitable? The gameplay has always been shit I don’t see how anyone could want them
