ydcl Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It appears as EA wants to acquire VALVE and with it their assets such as the Half Life franchise. Larry Probst says this purchase would greatly increase Electronic Arts portfolio and allow them to further expand their merchandise. I for one oppose this idea. What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I really hope VALVE turns them down. I hate the idea of EA buying them. EA needs to focus on what they have already and improve that instead of trying to buy everything. I'm fine with having Steam and Origin separate.

Nebulon Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Even if it were true, Valve would never sell to EA (or at least I certainly hope they wouldn't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenegg Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This was just as good an April Fools joke as Facebook buying Oculus. Oh crap ... that actually happened. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 My favorite yesterday was the good folks at Retro Magazine dropped a bomb through kickstarter announcing a Gamestop take over. It was very well written and it duped me until I saw the bottom part of the email. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/socalmike/retro-the-multi-format-throw-back-video-game-magaz/posts/796625?at=BAh7CDoMcG9zdF9pZGkD0ScMSSIIdWlkBjoGRVRpA4PVIUkiC2V4cGlyeQY7BlRJIhgyMDE0LTA1LTAxIDE5OjQ3OjQyBjsGVA%3D%3D--616a3b5245c88f623b2fc770cd14b6e0f482e18c&ref=backer_project_update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well there's always next April 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
