Electronic Arts plans to bring games to Windows Phone 8

Video game developer and publisher Electronic Arts (EA) is in talks with Microsoft to bring mobile games to the upcoming Windows 8 operating system. According to Bloomberg, EA sees the next version of Windows as central to its handset strategy.“We’re working very closely with Microsoft to understand what their views on gaming navigation are,” Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore said in a phone interview with Bloomberg. "Anything that allows more platforms to be adopted quickly that have a gaming element is good for Electronic Arts”.EA is hoping to use tablets and phones along with Internet-based titles to reduce Microsoft’s reliance on boxed products. Microsoft needs to have a strong developer base for Windows 8, so that it can go neck and neck against Google's Android and Apple's iOS.Click here for full story
