Popular video game publisher Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, is in talks with several companies, including Apple, for a potential merger or acquisition opportunity. Check out the details below to find out more!
Disney or Apple could buy EA games?!
EA, the famous video game publisher that brought some of the most iconic video game franchises to the industry, including The Sims, FIFA, Apex Legends and more, is now looking to acquire an industry giant, presumably to expand its business opportunities. It is said that in addition to considering Apple, EA has also reached out to other companies such as Disney and Amazon.
According to a recent report from Puck, the acquisition idea comes after fellow EA competitors such as Blizzard and Bungie were bought by Microsoft and Sony respectively earlier this year. Furthermore, it is reported that EA would prefer a merger to an all-out acquisition so that Andrew Wilson, the current CEO of the company, could remain in his post for both entities.
While Apple and Amazon are the likeable prospects, EA had an almost concrete deal with Comcast in the past. A possible spin-off for NBCUniversal was proposed but the deal failed to go through. Therefore, the company is now looking for other options.
