Because it's just as easy to bring up NASCAR, FIFA, the NCAA, and the Arena League

EA had a great baseball franchise that was just getting ready to peak before this horribly anti-consumer practice by 2K and the MLB.

My point was since 2K was unable to compete with the MVP Baseball series, they went and bought off the MLB to kill their competition. Little did they know at the time what a powerhouse Sony's MLB game would become by now. I love the fact that 2K is losing $ on this deal.
It's actually quite feasible. Microsoft at any point could decide to drop an MLB game if they so desired.
The point is....you are claiming what 2k did should be considered a monopoly,which is not true.

Umm, he's not claiming anything. He's just trying to stir the pot with his FOX News version of EA's role in snagging the NFL license... "What, Mr. Commissioner? You want little old US to make an exclusive NFL game for you? Why, we'd be HONORED!"

Sounds eerily familiar to what that "other" company did.....doesn't it.
