Basically EA wants to be bought or be merged with a bigger company and that is how Disney got mentioned. For those that don't know who EA is, EA is a gaming company. They publish and develop games and also have a online gaming service. It is a big company that has on the top 5 worst American companies for many years.
I think this is about Chapek wanting to save his job as CEO and trying to increase the Disney's declining stock price. This also tells me Disney themselves want to develop and publish their own video games and that is by getting a gaming company. I am also guessing Disney wants an online gaming service also.
I know Disney has a history in video games, but it usually was other companies developing and publishing games using Disney's IPS. Kingdom Hearts is one of the prime examples of other companies developing and publishing games using Disney's IPS. Disney uses Square Enix to publish Kingdom Hearts and Disney themselves does develop the games either.
EA is very rich in IP due to them buying a lot of game developers and Publishers in the 1990s and 2000s. The problem is a lot of their IPS haven't been used in a decade or more. The IPS EA has also are bad for being turning into movies and theme park rides.
