Rumor: Will Nexon Make EA Fire EA?

Here comes the “pink slip express” with Trump spinners saying “you’re fired”. But a Korean woman, Juri, whispers like a mob boss, “I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse”… EA: Hey, I’m a married man! I’m not falling for that like the Secret Service… JURI: I want EA like I want DLC… EA: How high do I have to jump again, Nexon? True Story.

If Nexon does buy ea i hope bioware buy themselves out before it happens, otherwise incoming chibi mass effect mmo with 90's gfx and pay to win combat.

Even ea doesnt deserve this they brought alot of new ip's to the table, but then they fill em with dlc if they quit that maybe they wouldnt be the most hated gaming company together with actirehash.

zeal0us4379d ago

That would be the mass effect mmo I would hate to see.

EA won't let themselves be brought by Nexon.
Nexon should go after some other companies, Aeria would be a good one.

dcbronco4379d ago

It's not like they could stop it. They are publicly traded. The stockholders will take an offer if it is high enough. Nexon could buy all of the available stock and become the biggest holder and force the issue from the inside. This is what poor management does to public companies. EA isn't really the worse company in the world. But they have weakened themselves by being greed and now have to suffer for it.

NYC_Gamer4379d ago (Edited 4379d ago )

EA couldn't stop Nexon or any other company from buying up the shares....EA=public not private....That's why Valve is private for that very soon because there can be no hostile takeover..

GamingPerson4379d ago

You know free 2 play games are serious business when you can buy EA. wow.

raytraceme4379d ago

F* nexon. They are worse than activision when it comes to shooters and f2p games are way too overpriced if you want to have fun or have ocd. I hope google can come in and take ea into their hands.

a Korean/Japanese company merge with EA? Very nice, so everything wrong with video game developing will be put together for us it's easier to dodge.

FinalomegaS4379d ago

NEXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still have a dam ticket pending to be answered by their admin, 3 months now...

MOFOs going to burn. Ea better not fall for their BS.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga47d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo47d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken47d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN47d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199247d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies47d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde46d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai47d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken47d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay47d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"

Nice, I don’t know anything about these titles. But hoping they’ll be worth the watch.

VenomUK50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Xbox Partner Preview.
Xbox games that will be released on partner consoles including the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 5.

Asplundh50d ago

That should be pretty obvious, but then again there are some people who end up believing these are exclusive.

neomahi50d ago

Sounds familiar doesn't it? Xbox has never been creative or innovative

FinalFantasyFanatic49d ago

I normally just watch these so that I can add anything that interests me to my Steam wishlist.

Watch out for The First Berserker: Khazan. It looks really cool. It was first shown in TGA 2023.

Pretty cool as well that we'll get know more about Capcom's new IP Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
https://youtu.be/4PekONLKFG...

anast50d ago

I wonder which games they are going to announce for the PS5 and Android.

Lightning7750d ago

Seeing how it's a partner preview which I means 3rd party. It's safe to assume all be on PS.

RaidenBlack49d ago

they do ... many State of Play(s) are 3rd party focused

jznrpg50d ago

The 3 games listed are multiplats.
I actually looked up the Tales of Kanzera:Zau a month or so ago because I thought it could be an actual Tales of game but I was very disappointed to find out it is an indie game being published by EA and not an actual Tales of game. Gameplay looks ok but I don’t like the art style. It looks a lot like the recent Prince of Persia game.

FinalFantasyFanatic49d ago

I think we're overdue for a new Tales game, I know Tales of Arise isn't that old, but it feels like it's been forever.
