Amazon EA acquisition rumors: Reports claim no bid made - Dexerto


So rumors are now growing that Amazon has entered the EA sweepstakes. Disney was supposedly interested and Apple, too. I always harbor this sense that if Microsoft and Sony are sayin' "yeah hard pass" then it's a leftover that nobody wants. But with Amazon trying to create space for themselves in the gaming world, having a catalog of Madden, FIFA and Battlefield isn't the worst way to go. Intriguing gaming summer this has been.

I don't have a problem with it, as long as we aren't headed for shitty quality, broken games at retail prices where we're all a bunch of glorified beta testers on supposed day one drops of games. Thus essentially we're paying THEM to beta test for free basically.

Oh Amazon.... Isn't New World still having major issues or have they fixed them yet? 🤔

I feel like these companies gobble up potential moneymakers and make things worse in the long run.

I thought new worlds issues wasn't whether it was fun or immersive but it just wasn't properly optimized. Is there more to that?

What happened to anti-trust laws and why aren't they being enforced?

Because it's gaming and it isn't considered a make or break industry by the PTB

Better than Microsoft buying them but not by much. The difference is Amazon treats it’s customers like gold and employees like crap. Microsoft treats the customer like crap.

They were having a variety of issues at one point. Last I heard, they were still having stability issues with the servers, population problems for PVE events and hackers were messing up the in-game economy.

That or just buy the politicians through lobby or dark money to have a conflict of interest and things just happen to go in your favor. The United States Government is the biggest one of the biggest pay to win game in the world
