First the combination of these 2 is just a horrible thought. But also, how the heck did nexon get wealthy enough to buy out EA? Maple story, really??

They have a LOT of games where they make money via micro-transactions.

Also there's been a thread about this for a while now, use search.

1) It's an IGN article, don't put too much stock into it.

2) Nexon was never planning on buying EA. They just said "Hey guys we have enough money to buy EA if they allow us to," like some sort of corporate-scale diss. Nothing more.

3) We already have a thread on this: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2241927

This is rumor-mongering in it's worst form, and I hate it. You're thread title makes it sound like they're actually planning on buying EA when that's not the case at all.

Sorry for the multiple threads, should have searched.
