EA As The Next Disney

Posted by timothy on from the gosh-walt dept.

ducomputergeek writes "There is an article over at Business2.0.com about how EA may just surpass Disney as the number #1 media company in the world. Considering that EA has turned out some great games over the years, including Wing Commander, many sports games for consoles, and the SIMS, it wouldn't surprise me."

    Honestly, Disney hasn't had an original idea in decades. That's why they contract with Pixar and Dreamworks.

    The Disney theme parks are a joke now too. Way over priced, played out, and don't even get me started on the gang activity in the L.A. one close to where I live.

    Now maybe it'll be EA, not likely, but it will be someone. The theme parks are rare, I mean their are only TWO in the US. Six Flags has them beat in this department although they suffer the same problems.

    The only place Disney has a strangle hold on is cartoons and movies. The Disney channel is great for kids too. If only Hannah/Barberra were still around, maybe that would change.

    EA's home/HQ is in Redwood City, California. The Vancouver office is just a satellite office. So stop lying.
