The NBA has announced that a non-exclusive deal has been made with Electronic Arts, Take-Two, SCEA, Midway and Atari. This agreement allows the five publishers to continue to develop and publish NBA licensed games.
“This is a great day for NBA gamers,” said Adam Silver, NBA Entertainment President and Chief Operating Officer. “By partnering with the top developers of sports video games, our fans will be assured a broad and competitive selection of innovative products.”
This comes as good news to NBA fans all over the world, with many gamers predicting a similar fate to what happened with the NFL. Electronic Arts bought the exclusive rights to the license, effectively killing off the competition. This NBA announcement can only be a good thing for the industry and the sport.
