Buying EA might make me abandon the platform as a primary.

EA would be so dumb because most of their games are based on licenses.

EA are likely locked into a multiyear Game Pass agreement so I doubt that would happen.

I don't think Sony buying EA makes much sense. That's a lot of overhead that they don't really benefit from. Like they'd own Origin.

I really hope Sony does buy EA, sick of seeing the same Madden game released every year. I'm sure Sony would make them improve the games and not be the same shit every year.

That won't happen, EA just did the addition to Game Pass with EA Play included with a bunch of games. It would make zero sense for them to already pull out for Sony.

It'd be really nice of Sony to take Ubisoft and EA out of circulation and contain them in their bubble. I don't know if it'd be a redemption story but hey I bet the game stores would look nicer with less space polluted by yearly rehashes.
This is hell though so that's not happening.

Do you think it possible that Sony buying EA might improve it?

The chances of Sony doing anything with Ultima is a slightly more hopeful zero.

As a longtime delusional fan of the Spoony One, I watched the whole Ultima Introspective he did.

EA fucking killed Ultima and passed on the grave.

Lmao

Microsoft is more likely to buy EA, between the two companies.

Sony didn't even get on board with EA Access/Play for fucking many years (honestly idek if they ever did) so why would EA agree to the acquisition if PlayStation never put in the legwork for being a destination for EA games?

I wouldn't mind Sony or Microsoft buying EA if it means they fix EA's shitty business practices. Not everything needs loot boxes and "games as a service" nonsense EA!

I dont think Sony has the cachet to acquire a company the size of EA. Theyre a much smaller company than Microsoft with a lot more debt already on the books.

not saying its impossible to make happen but itd be a very risky pushing all in type of move.

I could also see them buying Epic games, since their Star Wars set volumes are running custom Unreal engine.

Congress doesn't care about video games except when they have sex and violence and they need a scapegoat.

Honestly, in the long run, it might be better if Sony didn't get into a buying frenzy just to match Microsoft. Instead of buying up studios, they put all that money in new IP development.

They take a long look at all the complaints people have about the existing franchises, and develop new competing games that actually address the issues people have complained about for years. Develop a FPS that fixes the complaints that people have had about CoD, develop a big budget RPG to rival Elder Scrolls, etc. If they do a do good job, gamers will pick them up, and Microsoft can't poach it away.

Hmm isn't EA play currently part of Xbox Game Pass?

Sony does some of the pettiest little power plays in the industry it's so annoying.
