Rumour: Apple to takeover EA?

Post by vegettoxp »

We'd like to stress that this is a rumour, not proven in any way or form, before we go any further, but Apple is apparently getting ready to takeover Electronic Arts according to some.

It's a rumor. Why would Apple want to take over EA? Besides, EA is actually a successful company. NFS is not the only thing they do, and they actually produce some very good games.

Wrong forum BTW. This is for comments or suggestions about the website.

Speaking of whys: why would Apple want Twitter? EA sounds like a much better investment as they actually have an income.

Apple seems to be all about publicity. I'm sure if they had twitter they could manage to brainwash a few more people into buying an iPhone.

Publicity is everything in the corporate world. If nobody knows your product, no one will buy them.

I dont see this happening. Apple will never buy a software company that creates products almost exclusively for Windows and Xbox (not to mention PS3 and Wii) unless they want to just have that market. I dont see them risking capital for that venture.
