This is only a rumor, however it's been picked up by large, mainstream sources. I have zero confidence in Disney to pull anything off, but doubt this effects Madden franchise, as I believe EA recently spun off their Sports division into a separate entity. Perhaps in preparation for a sale. Please take this with a grain of salt. Originally comes from a Bloomberg report.
For years now, Disney has abandoned the video game publishing space, content to farm out its various licenses to a large number of studios. Now, a new report says that Disney may want to dive back into gaming in a big way with the purchase of a major publisher. And the name that keeps coming up is Electronic Arts.
