...Oh shit!
noone can buy EA. maybe a tiny part of it.
Nexon should just **** off already hate them they will just slowly destroy EA and bioware more.
Even the author for yahoo link is in shock.
offfer
Inb4 games not availble in Europe until 7years after US release.
I'm.............not sure how I feel about this.
Oh wow! Nobody saw this coming. I feel bad for EA now, their customer service is going to suck hardcore since Nexon's customer service is one of the worst I've ever encountered. That is if, they even exist since most times it just feels automated they way things are handled by them.
I think Nexon's games are great, but their customer support... *sigh*...
And their international game translation take an eternity.
I do approve though if it helps them release Mabinogi 2 anytime sooner... else... bleh...
It can't get better so I am fully supporting this.
But they are just making an offer anyway so keep your pants up. Nothing is happening yet and it will probably take a few years for that to happen anyway.
I seriously doubt EA will accept any initial offers, but there is something more than meets the eye going on here with Nexon... just a few weeks ago I read about them buying some company in the mobile gaming circus and with that Owen Mahoney claimed that they were looking into expanding here and there by buying teams in parts of the business where they are not already working... didn't hear anything about a deal actually being followed through regarding this though, but they atleast had some official speak up about it unlike now with EA.
I for one will be keeping an eye on Nexon for a while...
This only means that EA has come to the edge of bankrupt ... *cough* Star wars the old republic *cough* i did not say a word.
An evil company trying to obtain another evil company.
Nothing good is coming out of this.
Bit of an update over at Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain...ers-to-buy-ea/
EA stock prices spiked at the news.
Quote:
Not a lot to go on here just yet, but EA shares are responding strongly to the rumor: the game maker’s shares have spiked $1.22, or 8.1%, to $16.23.
I hope Nexon buys EA and when it´s done they make 1 bad game and then they go in to bankruptcy so we can be free of them both. Making the gaming world allot better.
While I doubt this will ever happen I am very much voting for Nexon to buy EA. Nexon is worth a few billion more than EA so there is always possibility. The main reason I am for it is because I dislike John Riccitiello that much.
oh thats good, let all the shit company's group up, that makes it easier to avoid them
