Rumour: Amazon Is Reportedly Preparing To Buy Electronic Arts

It feels like we don't go a single week without hearing about multiple video game studio acquisitions, and today, we may well be hearing about a pretty big one.
For The Win (FTW) reports that Amazon will be announcing today that it's put in a bid to acquire Electronic Arts (EA). If this turns out to be true, this will likely be a huge offer given the revenue and size of Amazon.
EA has been a big name in the industry for years, publishing games like Apex Legends, Mass Effect, Battlefield, and multiple sports titles to name just a few. The company also has its own online distribution platform in Origin and owns multiple big studios such as BioWare, DICE, and Respawn Entertainment.
Amazon hasn't exactly been shy in attempting to get into the video game market either, and it's responsible for publishing both new World and Lost Ark — two PC MMORPGs. You can also get free games via Amazon Prime, and the company also has its Cloud-based gaming platform — Luna.
FTW has reached out to both Electronic Arts and Amazon for comment. We'll update this article as soon as more news comes to light.

Rumors like this are a great way to manipulate stock prices.

We live in a meme economy.

But it's proven to be a false rumor already.

"proven" how?

I don't see any "proof"... I see more reports then not that it is... ( a rumor )

Not that I really care one way or another.

I like how the article is updated to mention that it's based on "unnamed and unvetted sources".

Did you literally just ignore what was written above by at least two people?
Who provided evidence it was fake?
How could you miss them?

Too much evidence that it's fake.
You can never claim there isn't evidence.
It makes no sense.

TwPanda was one, and I can't recall the name of the other.
