SW: We do! Here’s the paperwork. Technically the license is for games consisting of squares touching each other and containing numbers and/or letters and/or symbols.
GS: But, wouldn’t that include Bingo too?
SW: And Tic-Tac-Toe.
GS: Tic-Tac-Toe doesn’t have full squares.
SW: Read the fine print.
GS: “Squares or square like substances.”
SW: Exactly! Look for Bingo 2009, All Pro Tic-Tac-Toe 2009 and Hip-Hopscotch 2009 this year. We’re particularly excited about that last one.
GS: How exactly does EA plan on enforcing the fact that they hold the license to a children’s game?
SW: Google Maps, of course. We teamed with Google and they wrote us an algorithm that can pinpoint a Hopscotch board anywhere in the continental United States. We can have lawyers there in minutes.
