I loved the Gamebreaker titles as well but 989 Studios did those and they went out of business awhile ago.

Can EA bring back sanctions and over the top celebrations?

The one thing I will say if the sec gets there way and starts paying players ,then real names in a game will be right around the corner

My question is:

Why would 2k jump in now? The CLC license is still expensive. EA still plans to release a game next year. What has changed to make the market more viable for 2k?

That really depends on the other licensors and if they have the clout/contract terms to limit things they may not want in the game.

Yeah, I really don't think this changes anything in regards to another company swooping in and making a game.
