To gain mad air

They own ESPN, it makes sense

Id rather them not...own any game studios

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Why take the losses? Keep licensing your shyt out and making high quality like Spiderman


This would be a bad move imo.

If Disney has plans to Make Madden Great Again I'm all for it.

Softer and even more PG content approaches for EA properties

Disney don’t know shyt about Madden, if anything they’ll try to take the hit stick out because it’s too violent

I rather them buy Nintendo (i know they're not on the table) or Pokemon (also not in the cards). shyt, maybe buy Sega, Capcom. They have IP that are kid-friendly and they can incorporate into movies and theme parks.

Disney have the money to build their own studio from scratch and have the IP to be a big player on Day 1. Just buy a small indy studio as the seed to become a goliath.

Yeah Apple is finna acquire Disney when that EA purchase if it happens kicks em in the ass

EA makes the star wars games. So I can see why they want to do this.

Not sure if this would make micro transactions worse or better....

 

[StackUp]

not sure what happened to it but i remember having A LOT of fun playing their split second racing game - it might've only been the demo but it was FIRE

Elsa FPS game will be amazing

you can't buy your way into gaming. you need some measure of creative vision. Seen many companies get bought out and lose all their magic.

What magic is EA gonna lose?

Disney might push them to make games that are outside of their general area of experience. Instead of generic sports titles, they might push whatever is currently popular at a given time.
But i get what you and other people who have responded to my post are trying to say. "EA is trash" Disney can't break something that is already broken etc"

Thats tangential to the point i'm making. Which is you can't really change the direction an established studio, they either make what they usually make or they dissolve.
What i'm saying is big companies that buy out established studio often think that can change them and create a new vision. not so
