Ugh. Really? I know you're only joking, but seriously. EA losing money doesn't make Konami richer, or PES better. This license news has brought out the child in everyone ("yaaayyy fuck u EA lolz").
If anything, it just reinforces a CEO's idea that we don't give a shit about gameplay, only licenses - and entirely validates the current Konami way of doing things (tiny dev team that receives no extra funding despite achieving a record-breaking profit last year).
The Mike Ashley model. No operating costs, no chunk taken out of the profit.
Is that really what we want?
Is that what aussiepesfan is enjoying though? It seems to me that enjoying EA financial misfortune and enjoying the fact that Konami might have caused it are quite separate things.
I think EA are scumbags, even worse than Konami, deliberately peddling gambling to kids with their "surprise mechanics" bullshit. Yeah, Konami jumped on that bandwagon but let's face it, they're just not that good at exploitation.
So I'm happy to hear when EA suffer in any way, personally, and just because a PES marketing announcement may have caused this temporary dip, it doesn't follow that enjoying any EA misfortune amounts to an endorsement of the Konami licensing strategy.
Another thing I've quite enjoyed is reading the tweets of butthurt FIFA fanboys who seem literally
distraught that they'll have to use just one fake branded team
Then there's the people posting "Damn, why can't we just share the licenses? " And I've found that amusing, since the notion that predatory pursuit of licensing deals is a d1ck-move seems only to have registered right now in some people's minds.
If nothing else, this announcement has got people thinking. I for one like that. Add in the shadenfreude of seeing FIFA fanboys having a tantrum, and it made the whole thing quite enjoyable – all without endorsing the prioritising of licences over development.
I actually find that post quite amusing

. I have no problem with it
Me too. Lygaard is a joker. We learnt that last year. Maybe it's a bit childish but he makes me laugh.
