Rumors have been circling online for a few weeks about a potential EA buyout, with Apple, Disney, and Amazon listed as potential buyers. As per our sources, Amazon has finally made an offer.

It’s a smart business move from Amazon, which is also making big moves in television. After the success of The Witcher and Arcane on Netflix — both shows built around big video games — Amazon could potentially use EA’s franchises as settings for new shows. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space — there’s plenty of potential in EA’s library for transmedia opportunities.

Would Amazon make Madden great again?

Given their track record thus far of handling IP, this doesn't bode well.

Interesting because several weeks ago I got Mass Effect Legendary Edition, NFS Heat, and Grid Legends all for free from Twitch Prime/Amazon prime that linked to my EA Account. Best twitch prime offering.. maybe ever?

Meh. EA has been trash for a long, long time.

My money is on the latter based off everything else they buy

for real...
EVERY SINGLE YEAR, its a retread of the exact same thing as the year before... just updated rosters, with a few minor additions, some subtractions, but nothing truly innovative or inspiring...
but like the dumbasses we still buy it when it comes out...

Not sure how this could make EA worse. Worst case scenario would be a zero sum effect.

I think they’ll invent ways to be more and more woke and diverse in their game storytelling

You're right about that, but I'm still not sure that'd be worse than EA currently is.

Rings of Power shows their direction so yeah, they could ruin gaming and make EA worse.
Posted on 8/31/22 at 8:03 pm to Sl0thstronautEsq
I don’t think EA can get worse, so I’m all for this

F Amazon and F EA. (Unless games are included in Prime membership)
