The video game market is consolidating like never before, and Electronic Arts is scrambling like everyone else. The Battlefield and FIFA maker recently pursued a merger with NBCUniversal, and also held potential acquisition talks with Disney, Apple, and other companies, according to a new report by Puck. While a deal isn’t currently in the works, it doesn’t sound like EA plans to give up anytime soon.
But it was apparently a deal with NBCUniversal that got the farthest along. According to Beyers, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts was looking to spin off the entertainment conglomerate into a separate entity with EA, with one version of the deal leaving current EA CEO Andrew Wilson in charge of the new mega-business. Negotiations eventually fell apart over price, however.

Dude cant run EA well enough to stay independent but he could run an even bigger company?

I wish EA would shatter back into the companies that it swallowed and ruined.

Hopefully the new management makes a decent game again.

All these merges with larger corporations run by woke queers is just gonna contaminate games with “the message”

Aren't these like the two worst-rated companies, like ever?
NCAA 23 gon' suck.

Well they are but they’ll probably put less focus on dynasty and more on ultimate team because of the micro transactions they can charge. Also the game will probably run as clunky as Madden does these days
Still better then nothing I guess

EA is a turd unless they can put out NCAA and a Bad Company 3 that’s actually good and has a solid BR that can compete.
Mostly the latter. Don’t give a frick if the BR has season passes etc…just be functional and a good BR.

Disagree.
Nothing >>> any kind of Ultimate Team-driven game franchise i.e. the latest versions of Madden, the Show, FIFA, etc.

I would rather them make good games and leave the BR stuff for the kids on CoD and Fortnite.
Last thing we need is more wasted time on yet another overdone BR. That genre has plunged for a reason.

Is Apex Legends no longer any good? I have not played in long time but I enjoyed it for a while and I'm not really into Battle Royals
Posted on 5/21/22 at 5:42 pm to ThuperThumpin
Apex is still very big.
Posted on 5/21/22 at 5:56 pm to UltimateHog
So many good properties they are just royally fricking up, could be amazing if they sold it.

I wish EA would just cease to exist
Posted on 5/21/22 at 11:54 pm to UltimateHog
I'm shocked that Microsoft isn't being discussed here. Especially since EA Play is already part of Game Pass. Seems like a natural coupling.

I'm sure they will. Whenever already predatory game companies get bought out by mega corps they always focus on making a good game and not monetization.

It’s got players but there still more to tap into. Apex isn’t for everyone but it certainly isn’t dead. A good BF BR would tap into a different market.

Watch them get bought by Amazon
