Ever since the major bombshell that is the news of Microsoft acquiring ZeniMax Media, there have been a few other

Back in May, news outlet Puck reported that EA was looking to be acquired by other companies in addition to Comcast. The list of those companies included Amazon, as well as others like Apple and Disney. Regarding that last one in particular, EA CEO Andrew Wilson was reportedly looking to establish “a more meaningful relationship” between the two beyond just the licensing deals. Currently EA and Disney have a Star Wars exclusivity deal, which is expiring next year.

Overall, it looks like nothing much has changed since the initial Puck report back in May. EA may well be still looking for potential acquirers, and Amazon is not making a move on that front for now. Though for what it’s worth, the whole development did send the video games publisher’s stock prices into a tizzy. Which must have been fun for the people who are invested on that side of the business.
