The dispute between EA and FIFA is for economic reasons and limitations to monetize, according to NY Times

The holder of the article that has recently published the New York Times is quite clear. EA Sports is planning a FIFA without FIFA . A text that responds to the siren songs of the last weeks, in which there is a name change for the most popular virtual soccer saga of all the time.

A newspaper of so much prestige addresses the issue with clairvoyance and points to something that we suspected but that, as is logical, at no time has been indicated officially, as they are economic disagreements between FIFA and EA Sports .

This report aims at the fact that the dispute between both parties is related between costs and sources of income. It seems that FIFA wants to charge EA twice as usual by the license, with an upright of more than a billion dollars every four years . And, also limit the ability of videogame signature to monetize beyond the game itself.

The core of the dispute is financial, FIFA seeks more than double what you currently receive from EA Sports, according to people with knowledge of the conversations (...) However, the dispute is not just money. Conversations have also stagnated because FIFA and EA can not agree What should include the exclusive rights of the player, says the article.

In addition, they add that FIFA wants to limit the exclusivity of EA to the parameters around a football game and the study says that they could explore other ways of doing business with their game ecosystem, such as Tournaments or Digital Products such as NFT . It is another of the issues in which FIFA and EA are in remote positions.

We will see what happens, but the truth is that in EA Sports, who have already admitted the possibility of a name change, they are already moving in tune and have registered a possible title.
