Wrote in a question wondering if the cats over at EA Sports are shitting razor blades (said in a much more family friendly manner).
holy shit yes, cuz you know there's a significant # of people who go out and buy the latest iteration of the next EA sports game because of who's on the cover.... so not only are you going to lose the demographic that's like "HOLY SHIT I CAN SPEND $60+ AND HAVE A PICTURE OF TOEWS AND KANE ON MY WALL!!!" but you're also going to lose the demographic who go "man i love the yearly EA sports game cuz they only change the game engine once every 4-5 years so i know i'm going to get the same game with updated rosters/stats...... but holy fuck i will not spend so much as a penny on anything with that rapist patrick kane on it! it hasn't been this grim since daunte culpepper was on the cover of madden, but there comes a point where you have to be a person of principle and this is it! i'll be back for NHL 16/17/whatever!"
of course, i doubt you mean that and more likely mean that EA's gonna be like "OH SHIT" and quickly have to change the cover around to be rid of patrick kane, maybe even going as far as recalling copies of the game already out there? unless this is a situation where the game has yet to come out and they've got hundreds of thousands to millions of copies sitting in warehouses cross the USA ready for a launch in the next month or two and then it's like "oh fuck what do we do?"
i think if you've already got 500k-2mil games produced and sittiing in warehouses you go ahead normally with those, but any copies of NHL 15/16/whatever made from this point on either lose KANERRRRRR or grab a new blackhawk to put with captain serious. or hell, maybe you can leave KANERRRRR there a la goofus and gallant from highlights! magazine, yin and yang, good and evil, adderall and alcohol? it's a wonderful dichotomy to remind you why they're going to have to put up 2 toews statues outside the UC someday!
