Electronic Arts is reportedly pursuing acquisition and merger opportunities with “a number of different potential suitors”.
That’s according to Puck (£), which yesterday revealed that EA has been “persistent in pursuing a sale” with a number of companies, including Amazon, Apple, Disney, and NBCUniversal, “emboldened in the wake of the Microsoft-Activision deal“.
“In recent years, as media companies have taken greater interest in the rapidly growing gaming industry, [CEO Andrew Wilson] and Electronic Arts have held talks with a number of different potential suitors, including Disney, Apple and Amazon, sources with knowledge of those talks told me,” Puck reporter, Dylan Byers, wrote.
