Very short sighted decision. PES must have paid a lot of money but that’s three years of having a fake name in a very popular game especially with young fans.

I think FIFA loses more than we do. We're one of the most popular clubs in the world and the fans who are paying for the game will be pissed that Juve is some Piemonte Club. Plus, let's not kid ourselves, it's not like people will forget who we are because we're not in FIFA nor will they be wondering why Piemonte is not playing Champions League since they are so strong in the video game.
Also, I remember Arsenal was North London or something like that. Not sure it harmed them commercially.

Honestly, the way FIFA is going most people don't even pay attention to club teams anymore. Everyone plays FUT, and people use custom jerseys usually. FIFA has deteriorated in recent and hasn't been improving game play. It has just been trying to find new ways to extract more money from gamers, and it's obvious. The fact that you can put $100 in the game, and get very little in terms of value is something that EA needs to examine hard.
Also, I think Juventus was pissed RE: EA's treatment of it last year. They buy Ronaldo, and he was slowly de-emphasized throughout the year. For an exclusive partner, Juve probably felt that were being slighted.
Konami has a big opportunity to gain share right now because FIFA has deteriorated, and they're responding properly...by investing. But what they should have done was sell a minority stake in the game to fund more rights acquisitions, and hit FIFA hard.

Good move we are trendsetters, we like to do things our way just like we did it with the logo and I respect that, so I can only applaud this strategy as it ensures we get a bigger branding and marketing stake through a top game, which is endorsed by GOATS. It's great for CR7 as well as can give FIFA a big fuck you after they removed him from the cover. So win win.
On a personal level though, im a FIFA fan and have been for the past 6-7 years so while it's great news to see us carve our own path, it means I'm gonna have to ditch buying it next season. Or forking out for both. Love the name piemonte calcio, by the way lol.
Can't help but pronounce it Pie Monte, sounds like something higgy would like the look off.
