Electronic Arts purchases PopCap Games
« on: July 12, 2011, 05:51:16 PM »
It was rumored awhile ago that Electronic Arts was looking at buying PopCap Games, today they announced that the rumor is true. EA announced today that they bought PopCap for $650 million plus $100 million in EA common stock. PopCap can also get up to $550 million in earn-outs if they hit certain 2013 financial milestones and they expect to close the deal in August. I am not too surprised since EA has shown a desire to expand their reach in social/casual games ever since they purchased Playfish, this is a good purchase for them.  http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ea-has-purchased-popcap-for-650-million/
