Apple Looking to Take Over Electronic Arts?

TheStreet's David Tong relays that FastMoney's Guy Adami claims that there is "chatter" that Apple is eyeing an Electronic Arts takeover.

Adami noted that there is chatter that Apple (AAPL Quote) is eyeing Electronic Arts(ERTS Quote) as a takeover target.


Kotaku describes Adami's predictions as "sketchy, at best", so it seems quite unlikely there's any truth to it -- but we report it here for interest and discussion.

It'd certainly solve the lack of games for OS X.

This looks as likely and legitimate as this.

This would kind of shine some light on the fact that EA is ALWAYS one of the demos at SDK events. And I mean ALWAYS at demo events, ALWAYS in the featured games, ALWAYS in commercials... you see where I'm going here.

All in all, I don't believe it will happen though.

Probably because they are making million of games, and at least one of them are always an AAA title.

EA certainly doesnt have a reputation for making quality games though. it doesn't make sense for Apple to take them over.
