Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?
Apparently the Disney board doesn't. Maybe someone should remind them.
Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.
But EA clearly know how to rake in money with the yearly version of SportsGame ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ ~~2023~~ 2024. They are expected to make just as much cash by releasing the exact same movie every year. Who knows, maybe they'll add microtransactions.
