Sky News has learnt that EA has tabled a potentially knockout bid for Codemasters, trumping an offer agreed last month with Take-Two Interactive Software, maker of the Red Dead franchise. A gaming industry source said this weekend that EA was working with bankers at UBS on its offer. The interest from EA, which has a market value of almost $40bn (30bn), is likely to be disclosed to the stock market on Monday morning. EA is among the world's biggest computer games developers, and is best-known for its FIFA-licensed football titles, as well as games based on the Harry Potter books and Star Wars films. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:948286893] in EA makes s...
