Rumor: EA Facing Takeover Bid from Korean Giant

[Croaker42]

Oh no! If that happened EA would lose all their artistic Integrity...

What?

Thank you for making my day.

OT; Meh its not like EA can get any worse.

You haven't played a Nexon game.

Nope.

Of course I try not to play EA games any more either.
At least if they got bought out by someone worse.... I would never have to worry about it as that would push them well past the line of playable.

That headline is misleading.

Not likely Koreans. Go back to Starcraft and your crappy MMOs.

Starcraft is made by Blizzard.. And you are basically saying that EA makes great games..

Herp derp learn to read. Where did I imply EA makes great games? Oh, nowhere, and you just can't read. Perhaps you need glasses. Or some new eyes. At any rate, I don't care as long as you stick your face somewhere irrelevant to me.

Well the fact that you used Starcraft as a example, which sold hundreds of thousands and was well received by everyone. Yes, you made EA look good and should do what that gentlemen with the arm flail told you to which is GET THE FUCK OUT!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now all we have to do is wait, because if this happens, EA will stop being dicks by the simple fact that they have learned what it is to be under greedy dicks.

I mentioned StarCraft because it has a strong fanbase in Korea, and is one of the most popular games there. I said nothing of its reception, nor how good or bad it is.

I said 'crappy mmos' because MapleStory is absolutely appalling.

I didn't mention EA, nor how good/bad they are. I said nothing of my opinion of them. I think you have me confused with someone else.

I'm still not sure you can read. It would appear that you are the one flailing about trying to criticize my statement, primarily by strawmaning. And not even a good strawman at that.

You don't have to mention something for it to not be implied, therefore I am still correct on the basis that you implied that Starcraft was bad, you said nothing about Korea or good games or bad games from there.

Once again, it may have been my mistake, but as far as I can see, your just not willing to admit fault here.

I hope this is just a rumor, Nexon expanding at all would just be horrifying.

They have worse user policy than any company I have seen.

Cash shop items THAT EXPIRE.

Oh I can only hope so.
It would be a fitting end to EA for them to be someone's little F2P-MMO shilling *****.

I just want to see how low they can go before they're undone by their own hubris, and Nexon's takeover blows up in their faces when they realize who it is they just purchased.

EA is a gangrenous limb that needs to be hacked off.

That wouldn't make any sense. Nexon makes f2p eastern games, EA makes paid for (for the most part) western games. Nexon also isn't that much bigger than EA is.

I for one welcome our new South Korean overlords.

You know how they always have that supervillain in the first season of the show be super powerful and menacing, and then the next season you find out there's somebody even more sinister that just worfs the crap out of the first supervillain at the right moment with a machiavellian screwdriver? This is one of those moments.

You know that predictive text thing that Google does? I typed EA is into Google and the first 4 sentences it offered as ways to complete my search were:

EA is evil
EA is the devil
EA is killing Bioware
EA is killing videogames

At this point EA could get taken over by Osama Bin Laden, Jack the Ripper and Satan and it would probably still be seen as an improvement.
