DiemetriX Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 A reliable source of mine told me EA was acquiring codemasters. I'm putting this as a rumor but hope it gets confirmed soon. __ I thought this would be announced by now (04.05.07). But seeing as it's not, I guess the information was false.

Shino Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 EA's like a massive black hole, everything around it will eventually be stop in time and then swollen by its massive appetite. I just hope this brings a better future to the Micro Machines franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 God, I hope not. I've got nothing against EA but as a British gamer I don't want to see one of the UKs last major publishing houses get bought into the American juggernaut. Besides, every acquisition by the rival facistic empires of EA or Ubisoft brings us another step closer to an apocalyptic future of 3rd party support consisting almost entirely of sequels, movie and comic adaptations being inexpertly shoehorned from one console onto the rest. Brrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 If EA did buy Codemasters, I wonder what would happen to the LMA Manager series... ...being the only forum member to have bought an LMA game, I have to wonder this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Dude, a "reliable source of yours?" That just sounds fishy . But err, i doubt this'd happen. No, scratch that, I hope this doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was going to say. Publisher reps that go to retail stores usually don't know shit..........and I'm guessing your source would have been one of them. I thought Codemasters were doing quite well for themselves over last yr or so. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Youtube was doing amazely well for themselves and they were bought by google. True say. But another UK publisher bought out isn't a good sign of things imo. I personally don't think much of a lot of the stuff Codemasters makes, but of all people EA buying them out. Hope this is just a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
