I imagine EA doesn't care about sales of FIFA 96, but they sure as shit worry about losing their FIFA license.

Playing devil's advocate, I think some lawyer got nervous about the licensed stuff in those games.

The FIFA games usually have licenses to use the teams and player names. and lots of licensed music.

IANAL so I'm genuinely asking: isn't that the responsibility of the licensed teams/player names/musicians and not of EA?
