Does a South Korean company want to buy EA?

According to the South Korean media, EA shares haven just jumped 6 percent, leading to takeover speculation.

Bloomberg reports that South Korean studio Nexon, of Maple Story fame, is interested in the Battlefield 3 publisher.

What that means exactly is unknown, as there is very little to go on. It sounds like wild speculation on the South Korean media's part, rather than anything substantial.

One would assume EA is worth significantly more than Nexon, as one of the world's largest video game publishers, but that means little when cashed-up investors get involved.

Nevertheless, it remains little more than a rumour.

If EA was a front for the PRNK I wouldn't be surprised.
It doesn't say much for the industry when Nexon buying EA is a good thing.
EDIT: Just to be clear, this IS a good thing. Lesser of two evils and whatnot. Don't let the door etc., EA.
