Now hang on a minute, do you have a source for this? This sounds like something from NBA licensing contract.

There's word that EA Sports pushed to make NBA Live F2P and the NBA balked at it, thereby shelving its return even longer. Admittedly no concrete confirmation of it, but that's the rumour making the rounds. It's plausible, as the NBA does have to sign off on what developers want to do with their license.
You should be aware that, as standard license terms, NBAP requires, among other things, payment of the following: (i) a royalty on the net sales of each licensed article sold; (ii) an annual minimum guarantee and (iii) a merchandise credit to NBAP for the licensed articles (all of the above in amounts to be determined by NBAP). Moreover, as a prerequisite to NBAP’s consideration of a new licensee, the applicant must have an established means of distribution and a sufficient direct sales force (or number of sales representatives) to actively promote the sale of the licensed articles throughout the authorized territory.
