Yesterday, it was confirmed that PopCap, the makers of Plants Vs. Zombies and Bejeweled, would be joining the EA publishing juggernaut for $750 million. Depending on PopCap’s performance over the next couple years, the deal could actually net them more money, somewhere around $1.3 billion. That’s a lot of money. Apparently, EA isn’t the only company that’s shown interest in the casual game maker. Zynga, the creator of a myriad of Facebook games, including the runaway hit Farmville, offered to purchase the company for a whopping $1 billion before the EA deal. This news comes from Forbes, who got word from a trusted inside source.
