Rumors circulated the web recently that Microsoft was purchasing EA.
Microsoft spoke with the Washington Post today to set the record straight. It looks like all the buying and selling of was moot, because Phil Spencer says it’s not happening during a talk with Reuters:
“We have no plans to acquire EA. They remain a very important partner to us. No acquisitions.”
Phil Spencer, corporate vice president, Microsoft Game Studios
When pressed on whether the two companies had held any talks at all, Spencer declined comment.
Of course they deny it, they don’t want their plans of world conquest to be revealed before they are ready. That would be like us saying, “Hey Senator Palpatine, rumor has it you have plans of taking over the galaxy.” :D
LMAO! Perfect analogy. So very true.
