http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/10/03/rumor-ea-on-the-prowl-looking-to-buy-epic-games/

Rumor word coming from Game Guru is that Electronic Arts is in the market, not only for a developer, but also for a gaming engine. Believe it or not, EA is said to be looking to purchase Epic Games and the Unreal Engine. Gasp!

Game Guru claims that EA is looking to gobble up developers of established franchises and quality lineups, which Epic Games fits the bill with Gears of War and Unreal Tournament as well as the added bonus of the Unreal Engine. Seeing that EA's attempt at purchasing Take-Two ended in failure, it wouldn't be entirely out of the realm of possibility that EA would ponder the acquisition of a company who's engine (Unreal Engine 3) powers a good chunk of the industry's titles. Just think, the future could see EA owning exclusive rights to Unreal Engine 4 and somehow involved in GoW ... maybe? ... meh!

GOD FUCKING NO

What would be worse, the big EA logo slapped on Gear 2 or GTA5?

If they want them badly, they should get it done before Gears 2. They left it too late with Take2, and when GTA4 came out, Take2 had so much money they didn't need EA.

Not going to happen. I doubt epic would need the money to be bought by EA, and I reckon microsoft could easily outbid EA for Epic.

Epic VP Mark Rein’s flattened a rumour that EA is moving on the Gears of War developer, telling VG247 the talk is “rubbish”.
