Good article. Read it. Rumor is that EA paid at least $300 million for this deal...
Oh, and did you know that EA already has exclusive liscences to the PGA Tour, FIFA, and NASCAR? I knew about NASCAR (it was one of the main reasons Papyrus died -- they had to stop making NASCAR games), but I hadn't remembered about those other two...
Don't be surprised if they try this with more sports...
Which is why I'm more concerned about them getting the MLB liscence. Yes, the state of baseball games is down with the death of 3D0 (say what you will but High Heat was a great franchise) and Acclaim (All-Star Baseball was consistently rated highly), but EA's are just so bad, and so unrealistic, that it'd be awful... sure, I don't buy baseball games either, but at least I've played some and know I enjoy them. :)
