Publishing giant Electronic Arts has put itself up for sale, according to a report.
Sources speaking to The New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/mad_for_madden_3lyqSl04ZEpZeO9Zmh81GI) has claimed that the company has been approached by a number of private equity firms over a potential acquisition, but stressed it was early days.

EA is allegedly valuing the company at $20 a share.
One interested party, Providence, currently also owns another publishing giant, Bethesda, responsible for blockbuster hits such as Fallout and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.
EA has declined to comment when contacted by Develop.
