Porsche may drop exclusive EA Games licensing agreement

For those unfamiliar with the licensing deal, gaming news site IGN explains it came about during the development of Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed, published by EA 16 years ago. The terms of the agreement gave EA exclusive rights to Porsche's name and cars. This in turn meant that other game developers would have to go through EA to get Porsches in their games. Few took the publisher up on this offer, instead choosing to substitute cars from tuned Porsche builder Ruf. That's why Porsches are rarely in Forza games, and never in Gran Turismo games.
