[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 29941, member: 1233"] The biggest problem with World Cup 94 is that it actually relies on a few hidden licenses that may be very hard to acquire. The World Cup competition is FIFAs competition, and it's been proven very difficult for football games to call an international cup competition "The World Cup". Most compromises end up being something like "The International Cup" or "World Conquest" or something ridiculous like that. The table also features the USA mascot (that weird football dog) which could be tricky to license because it was a creation of the US Football Association (or sporting authority, I really don't know the technical elements of this) and I get the feeling that artists would have to be paid for things like that >_> So methinks Farsight would have to get approval from the US Football Association, FIFA and probably a few other minor license holders. Given how money hungry FIFA are and how hard it has been for major football games to get the licenses for certain teams, I don't think that Farsight stand a chance unless lots of people are willing to waive the rights to stuff that they probably own on 20-30 year contracts.
