Microsoft Considering Electronic Arts Takeover??
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Gaming
Though it’s still just speculation at this point, it’s still rather stunning. The word floating around New York is that Microsoft is apparently interested in buying mega game publisher Electronic Arts, Reuters reports.
Now, this “unsubstantiated claim” will most likely remain so until for the time being. Nevertheless, EA’s stock saw a 4 percent boost today when word of this potentially industry-shattering deal started to spread. This deal would be so insanely massive and wide-reaching that I really can’t even comprehend what this would mean for the gaming world. I mean, EA games as Xbox exclusives? How crazy is that?!
Don’t get too worked up over this news though. There will be plenty of time for that if this thing actually ends up happening. And given the relationship between Microsoft and EA, specifically on the corporate side (John Schappert, Don Mattrick, Peter Moore), it might not be as unlikely as some might think.
