A new report from Bloomberg claims that The Walt Disney Company potentially has interest in purchasing video game publisher Electronic Arts.
The report states that Disney executives “are pushing” Disney CEO Bob Iger “to consider a bolder transformation of Disney from game licensee to gaming giant through, for example, the acquisition of Electronic Arts. But, as with everything else, he did not commit ”.
It doesn’t seem that far-fetched to think that Disney would buy Electronic Arts. They have worked together closely on projects in recent years, most notably with the Star Wars and Marvel games. So, Disney is trying to get more involved in the gaming world and EA Games would be a big step forward in gaining a stronger position than ever in the gaming market.
At the moment, however, Iger is obviously not entirely on board with going in this direction. But, if his deputies can convince him to do so, at some point, it could very well happen.
What do you think about the possibility of Disney purchasing Electronic Arts?
