According to the backstage, game giant EA may have found a name to buy itself, and Amazon could be this new buyer.
Rumors that EA is looking for a buyer or a company to merge with date back to 2012, when its market cap dropped 37%. The publisher did not comment on these rumors at the time, but this past May, these rumors surfaced once again. According to rumors, Disney, Apple, Comcast-NBCUniversal were among the companies interested in EA alongside Amazon.
According to For The Win’s claims, Amazon has finally taken the next step and made an offer to buy EA. According to rumors, an announcement will be made shortly, but there is no official statement yet. If true, this acquisition would be pretty good news for the EA.
On the other side of this rumor is CNBC, which explained that its sources said no official offers had been made. Regarding the claim, CNBC’s David Farber says, “I’ve spoken to some people who really know if something is going on, and they say it’s nothing.”
However, we can say once again what we have always said: anything can happen at any moment…
