EA Bids on NBA
Steve Gibson
47
A report on IGN is claiming that in addition to making an offer to the NFL for exclusive rights to make NFL licensed games, EA also pitched to the NBA. According to the report though the NBA rejected the offer.

... the NBA has rejected EA's initial offer. One of the reasons is that the NBA Live series simply doesn't have a stranglehold on the market the way Madden has for years, so by signing an exclusive deal with EA, the NBA would actually be losing money.

Also, rumor has it EA executive hobbies include drowning puppies

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
