It is whispered that PopCap is about to be bought for $1 billion. And not only whispered, but it is already reported by Techcrunch.
Now the public is making guesses who could be this buyer ready to pay such a large sum for PopCap Games. It was bruited about that Zynga had intended to become this offtaker, but the price appeared too heavy for them. Another potential PopCap owner is Electronic Arts company, but in comparison with their own estimation $1 billion accounts for one-fifth. It is evidently very expensive for them as well. Lately several Asian companies have been regular investors of PopCap Games. Perhaps, one of them is the best candidate.
