Sarcasm or you got something solid?That is fake. Ea hasn't expressed any interest to sell
Simpsons gaming license is interesting as they now own the cartoons and movies.That is fake. Ea hasn't expressed any interest to sell
Got something solid from some in the know. Bloomberg started this reporting and it simply was not true. No deal was made with universal that fell through. No deal has been in the works with anyone.Sarcasm or you got something solid?
I hope you’re not fucking with us. Good news.Got something solid from some in the know. Bloomberg started this reporting and it simply was not true. No deal was made with universal that fell through. No deal has been in the works with anyone.
They MAY entertain talking to some big companies (who wouldnt) but they don't have interest in selling.
It was pure speculation that could impact stock price.
Do any of you guys stop and ask yourselves why these huge (profitable) 3rd party publishers are courting someone to purchase them suddenly?
To me it seems like they expect a crash or a recession and are liquidating to not be sitting on a pile of stuff that people can't afford when the shit hits the fan. That and the union thing probably scares the shit out of them.
It just seems very suspicious that this is going on within the past 12 months.
The games industry is traditionally seen as being recession proof, but what causes carnage is new hardware generations, raising both costs and expectations of users. The game industry saw a boom in the lockdown time in a sort of forced recession without the cash constraints where people were not able to pursue the more expensive pass times that got them out of the house. Perhaps some of it is selling when valuations are still unrealistically inflated. Perhaps also the rising costs of making games in North American studios where that sort of product is not necessarily being seen high status enough to justify the excesses. These games are, in some cases, literally being given away for free.Do any of you guys stop and ask yourselves why these huge (profitable) 3rd party publishers are courting someone to purchase them suddenly?

That's already how it is no? EA Play is included in Gamepass Ultimate. It's been like that for about 2 years now I think.Any chance that Microsoft will aquire EA?
I must say as a PC player, what MS is doing is amazing. Gamepass+all those games coming to PC, PC gaming will have amazing future
My guess - before it comes out how much money they will lose due to FIFA licence. Which is funny since this will be part of recovery for whatever possible merger.EA seems to be in a hurry to finalize a deal, so we will probably hear more soon.
