My guess is they just wanted Jeff Green back and getting a game studio is icing on the cake.

One billion dollars? Really? That is more than 775 million!

Jeff Green tries to get out, but they keep pulling him back in...

You are WRONG , nothing is more than 775 million.

That's enough to even have brunch at the Staples Center the next day!

I had the exact same thought.

Yep.

I'm beginning to miss self-publishing game companies like Popcap. One less company logo to sit through while loading up a game!

Popcap are awesome, kinda sad to watch them get swept up, but at the same time there will hopefully be lots more games from them in EA.

Could I have like .01% of that.

I don't believe that dollar amount... Did Leigh Alexander say 1 Billion?

I really hope they gave Popcap employees shares in the company. Then Jeff Green will be rich. Dude deserves to be rich.
