A report by Puck explains that there are massive changes that will soon happen to Electronic Arts and its entirety as a games publishing and developing company. It is reported that EA is looking to sell to the selected company that it is now in talks with, focusing on the acquisition of its company and merging its business as one.

EA is not ceasing to exist, rather is only looking for higher management that it will be a part of in the future. It is reportedly in talks with Disney and Apple for its future, one that will focus on the company's operations in the coming years.

Disney is one of the strong frontrunners in this deal, and Puck said that it is looking to a similar deal between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft.

What Will Happen to EA After the Acquisition?

EA will be a part of a new company that it will consider to be a part of, being a subsidiary of it, or another massive gaming branch. According to Kotaku, the gaming market is consolidating and EA is not one to give up anytime soon. It also focused on offering its company to NBC Universal and considering the likes of Apple and Disney for its acquisition.

EA and its Games

EA has some of the most famous games in the industry, and franchises focus on the many titles that the public received, with continued development and support for it. Lately, EA Sports is looking to drop the FIFA brand partnership with the famous football sports league, as it requires them to pay $1 billion every four years.

Many fans were shocked as "FIFA" is one of the company's most famous titles, and they expect a yearly release of the game that updates the roster and experiences it. However, the company already cut ties with the sports league as EA filed for a new trademark that will change its "FIFA" series to "EA Sports FC."

Titles like "The Sims" and its famous offers for those that are looking to build their careers in the game are here to stay and still see continued support for its many expansions.

Now, the company is under heavy speculation that it is selling to its preferred company that will continue its legacy and offers for the public, focusing on the many titles it offers now. Whether Apple, Disney, or Microsoft wins in the bid for EA, what gamers want for the future is for the games to continue and bring what it offers to all.
