EA Aquires J2MSoft Inc
Even in the wake of a global economical crisis, EA is showing no signs of slowing down in their conquest for world domination. In their latest announcement, it was made known that EA has aquired South Korean based game developer J2MSoft Inc.
But why would EA aquire a relatively unknown, 50-employee large, studio? To increase their presence in the Eastern world, of course. EA hopes that J2MSoft’s roster of skilled employees will be able to develop online games, tailored to the Asian market with an EA branding.
Currently, J2MSoft specializes in developing free-to-play online games for the PC that make their money through in-game purchases and advertisements.
While not disclosing any information on the financial sector of the buy-out, EA lets investors know that the transaction is not likely to effect their 2009 results.
