5 publishers sign deals with NBA

By James Ransom-Wiley

We can all breath a sigh of relief... 
There won't be a basketball monopoly in the gaming industry any time soon.

After the recent NFL and
MLB deals, it seemed like only a matter of time before just a single publisher would have the exclusive rights to the NBA licenses.  But  today, 5 companies signed long-term deals with the NBA, totaling a value of $400 million.  Atari, EA, Midway, Sony, and Take-Two are all in.
