The two organizations are not happy with each other at the moment
Some big rumblings have been circulating in the sports video game world, with publisher Electronic Arts ( EA -0.82% ) and the international governing body of soccer, FIFA, butting heads publicly over the upcoming renewal of their licensing deal.
FIFA is not happy with EA at the moment
This news story started with a press release on Oct. 7 from EA that updated its investors about the launch of FIFA 22, which was released on Oct. 1. The game has been record-breaking so far, with 9.1 million players joining the game and 460 million matches played.
How it could impact Electronic Arts
With the FIFA license only covering the naming rights for the video game franchise, EA likely thought $250 million a year was a bit egregious for FIFA to ask for, and that is why it is walking away from this relationship.
