Rumors suggest that this could be the case

A couple of different sources are suggesting that Legendary Pictures has been talking to Epic Games about the possibility of acquiring the company. We know for sure that the two companies are working together on the Gears of War movie, but it could take awhile to make it happen.

We do know that Tomas Tull at Legendary does remain very interested in the gaming market segment, although he did recently resign from the blooard of Brash because of a variety of frustrations with the company.

While neither side is willing to confirm anything at this time we have to believe that both sides could be talking about the possibility, but right now it is just talk. We have to speculate according to our sources that Epic Games does have to consider where the company wants to go in the future, and having a partner with deep pockets would enable the company to continue to expand and branch out to do more.

It is a difficult decision that Mark Rein and the folks at Epic Games will have to make, but we suspect that it will come down to a decision whether they feel that they can live without the total autonomy that the company has enjoyed for so many years. We have to suggest that their price to be acquired will just be too high.
