with a number of potential buyers or partners, including Disney, Apple and Amazon. It's unclear which were interested in fully purchasing EA and which were looking to merge, but in case of a merger,said EA is seeking a deal that would allow Andrew Wilson to remain chief executive of the combined company.
EA approached Disney in March in an attempt to forge"a more meaningful relationship" that would go beyond licensing deals, according to the source. However, Disney decided not to push forward, perhaps because it's currently focused on its nascent streaming service. The publication said the idea of a merger between EA and ESPN, which Disney partly owns, is being floated around in the industry.
Among all the potential partners, however, it was perhaps Comcast who got the closest to a deal. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts reportedly approached Wilson with an offer to merge NBCUniversal with EA. Under the deal, Roberts would take majority control of the merged company, but Wilson would remain chief executive. The people involved didn't agree over the price of the sale and the structure of the combined entity, though, and the agreement fell through within the last month.
Plus somebody buy EA and save Madden.
They should sell no merger. Most games have been done half assed
Lol why?
Fucking please sell! EASPORTS
Maybe next year
Pretty tough sell. The community hates them. 🤣
amazon amazonluna if this means Apex Legends is included, PLEASE BUY EA
Considering they've been allowing access to all their games on the gamepass recently I'm assuming xbox Personally I don't care which company buys them, the last dozen or so ea games have been handled horribly or EA went out of their for games and studios to do bad Titanfall 2 etc
Something please buy FIGHT NIGHT
Imagine with everything going on in this world... that's news...who cares....unless everything else is fake ...hmmm 🤨
In my opinion if EA sells out it can only improve their games from the over hyped overly commercial garbage they make now.
😃
Can't wait for 2026 and the potential for NFL2K to come back
