Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: EA threatens to lay off Tiger Woods

[quote name="Ray of Light"]<a href="http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=20304">Dailytech</a>[quote]Riccitiello said that while the company has no plans to move away from Woods, it's a business relationship based on the idea that they make the best golf game and that Wood's is the best golfer. "Both of those things need to be true in the long run for the partnership to make sense." Although the company just introduced a golf game without Woods name on Facebook, Riccitiello added that EA plans to continue supporting the athlete. The company only released the game sans Woods to broaden their appeal. "He's sort of stuck with us for a very long time and we made great business together," Riccitiello said, "and we're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for a period of time."[/quote][/quote]
