If this is real, there's going to be a huge change in the gaming industry. Apple will then have to compete with activision and microsoft.

 

[Disaster Button]

What? Is this even possible?

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Blimey.

That's all.

Calumon: If this happens then I'll eat Jack's lunch for a week.

Jack: You don't even understand this do you?

Calumon: No, but you wouldn't have clicked onto it unless it was cool or not gonna happen! ^^

I don't think anything would change much they are just publishers after all not like they actively put anything into the game other than money and a deadline. Not so sure about Sony though could be wrong.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

That would be one of the largest acquisitions in history, wouldn't it? I mean Apple is a giant, no question, but so are EA and Sony... this doesn't add up to me.

I'm not wild about it, EA and sony are gigantic publishers and I really dont see them being cool with dropping out of the PC market for apple.

 

[Wayward Man]

Your life, permitted and sponsored by Apple.

I can't help feeling nervous at the idea of large corporations growing larger.

What?

I call bullshit on this...

Apple might be big, but I doubt Sony would ever let themselves be bought by Apple.

And EA? Really? I just don't see it...

I think that EA may be the target. Fun is what Mac's are lacking, and this is the opportunity to add it.
And it would be not the first rumor of apple wanting to buy it.

 

[TPiddy]

This is a nervous, scary thought.... considering how locked down and proprietary Apple products are, imagine what they could do to the games market... bad bad omen.

 

[Snotnarok]

I call shinanigans there's no way. Sony is huge, granted Apple is big too but I just don't see it.

What?

Apple might be big, but I doubt Sony would ever let themselves be bought by Apple.

And EA? Really? I just don't see it...

EA is a huge maybe, Sony is an enormous no.

 

[theriddlen]

TPiddy - since when EA is different?

 

[Danzaivar]

Gaming companies = don't care less.

Adobe = HOLY SHIT NO

 

[Kair]

Apple wishes to monopolize the digital world.

I can't help feeling nervous at the idea of large corporations growing larger.

I second this. Surely a move this big can't be done. Surely.
