WHEN a brand has had zero competition for 30 years, it can make strange decisions.
Back in May, the football governing body Fifa and the gaming studio EA Sports announced they would be parting ways and no longer creating fresh versions of the enormously popular football game franchise Fifa.
A final edition of this franchise called Fifa 23 was released in September 2022. There will be no Fifa 24 next year, at least not under the present commercial relationship.
