More EA news, this one a bit on a shocking side.Bloomberg is reporting (via a South Korean newspaper) that F2P MMO company Nexon has made an offer to purchase EA. No details have really emerged, but Nexon certainly has the money to make that kind of offer. I might be reading my numbers wrong but if this happens it could make Nexon the largest video game company on the planet, rivaling Activision Blizzard and Zynga. Until something official is said this is just a rumor, but it is a very interesting rumor.

Woah, that’s pretty interesting. It somewhat makes sense since EA is also exploring the F2P market, but at the same time, I would be lying if I said I would have saw this coming. This will be quite an interesting acquisition if this is true.
if turns out to be true, something so much worse than EA will be born
Let’s hope this doesn’t happen. EA is bad enough.
I agree with you guys, this would great an even worse beast than EA. However, based on their greedy track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if they go for this deal just to cash-in the money they would get from the purchase merger.
