Holy Crap. What's wrong with EA?<p>Our studio (Treyarch) was acquired for around 5-15mln (not sure the right number), close number for Infinity Ward and other studios (there is report on the net about public numbers).<p>But $750mln? Isn't the Pandemic acquisition pandemic enough? Who the fuck drives EA?

How is Zynga supposedly worth over 20 times what PopCap is being bought for? I must be massively underestimating how much people spend on in-game items in * Ville\* Wars. Or really overestimating how many copies of PvZ have been sold (I've bought it twice). And PopCap's revenue model isn't even almost wholly dependent on another companies success.

I enjoyed PopCap's announcement: <a href="http://www.popcap.com/ea?icid=ea_HP_PLARGE_pc_EN" rel="nofollow">http://www.popcap.com/ea?icid=ea_HP_PLARGE_pc_EN</a>. :)

Much less than the 1+ billion techcrunch reported.
