Another giant of the American industry is looking for a buyer.

At least that’s what a recent article in Puckthe media ensures that in recent months EA has actively sought to be acquired by another large company or organize some kind of merger between companies. Intention that would have been reinforced after the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft at the beginning of the year.
One of the interested companies would have been Comcast-NCB Universal, according to this report. The company’s CEO, Brian Roberts, reportedly proposed separate NBC Universal from Comcast and merge with EA , keeping Andrew Wilson at the head of this new organization. Finally this deal did not come to fruition due to some disagreement regarding the price or the structure of the new organization.
EA would have entered into conversations with possible partners as important as Amazon, Disney o Apple looking for that type of merger that allows Wilson to continue leading the company after a possible agreement. Of course, at the moment none of these approaches have been officially confirmed, but after recent movements in the industry, it would not be unreasonable for EA and other companies to be looking for new partners or to be directly acquired.

Transaction that would have been settled for just 300 million dollars in exchange for studios such as Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Mointreal, and licenses such as Tomb Raider, Thief, Deus Ex o Legacy of Kain.
