Why limit yourself to just 1, especially when none of them will happen anyway?

Of course it is fair. The NFL is a private commercial enterprise designed for profit. They have the right to license their rights just as EA has the right to pay for exclusivity. Without exclusivity, EA couldn't afford to invest nearly as much in development meaning their games would be inferior. In this case, the consumer benefits from this simple monopoly. There are so many other entertainment & video game options the consumer isn't hurt by there being a limit to NFL games.

the dominant player in the marketplace.  i've only seen this applied to microsoft, though i suspect it is not exclusively reserved for them.

Not a conflict that I can see.  Two businesses that for efficiency's sake are owned by the same person.  Maybe you could explain why you think this is a conflict of interest?

As far as I know, the original rules were Free Parking was just a rest stop. Then the rules packed with the game offered $200 in the center of the board for anyone getting a roll that lands on Free Parking and then I, also have played the game like you describe, all the penalties moneys going into the fund for Free Parking. \n\nThe world championship plays with Free Parking as a rest stop. Adding the extra pool of funds makes the game much longer and so I suppose the championship wants to conclude sooner.\n\nIn the Army, we played "real life" Monopoly where the rules, the rents were negotiable at all times. Stealing money while no one was looking was allowed. As many hotels as you could afford were allowed. One wealthy individual might offer a free night's lodging in exchange if they ever landed on your most valuable property.\n\nI have studied the rules to make a computer game out of Monopoly using java (just for my own amusement).

Cause no one wants to play without "one" - get it....teehee!  Couldn't beat the answers already given so thought I'd interject a little humor.

It is very possible and very easy, it just is probably not very profitable.  There are about a bazillion people already doing this and that makes it very competitive.  Very competitive in price is not very good for profits.

you can buy as few shares as you like, but the commission would eat up a larger portion of you available funds, the less you buy

Monopoly was created before the Great Depression...but to answer your question, I don't know that the value would be different today. It is a board game, and there can only be so much money in the game.

Because everyone likes things simple--no one wants to have to fulfill a number of extra "conditions." It looks shady on the business' part, like they're trying to lure you in and then get something extra out of you with the fine print.

Why?  That is the nature of competition.  There are only so many consumer dollars out there (or yen, or pounds, or whatever), and you have to know what other people are offering in order to choose what you will offer for those dollars or whatever.  So, for example, you may want to offer something similar, but at a better price, or something of higher quality in the same category, or with greater variety in colors and styles, whatever.  You have to have information because you can bet those guys are going to have information about what you are doing, and try to cut into your customer base.  The law of supply and demand!

Actually, yes.  I used to work for a Multi Level Marketing firm.  Our Representatives bought their own "business" to re-sell long distance service.  They got commission checks on their own customers and then if they brought in other representatives under them, they got paid commission on those customers as well.  Here's the catch... you have to get A LOT of people to buy into the business and not just be customers for it to work.  It can be done, but it's not as easy as they make it look, and even those who bust their butts don't always make it.  Late nite infomercials should be taken as entertainment only!!!

Why not?  I assume you are making a profit large enough to cover the commissions.
