Or maybe they want to buy EA to create a game around Rings of Power as they try to do anything they can to make people watch and love the show?

Potential sources say it's not happening. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

I would love for this to happen, maybe amazon will be a bit more chill about DLC's? But then again, their New World didn't turn out so well; although the reviews lately have been "mostly positive." Lots of maybes.
The average playtime is 5 days, so I imagine they have a small bot problem still.

Makes sense on the Madden front given that Amazon is now broadcasting NFL games.

These rumors have been proved to be fake. I wouldn't worry about it.

"According to GLHF sources, Amazon will announce today that it has put in a formal offer to acquire Electronic Arts (EA), the publisher behind Apex Legends, FIFA, Madden, and more.
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.
This news comes after a range of unprecedented acquisitions and consolidation in the video game space, with the biggest of them being Microsoft’s purchase of Acitivison Blizzard for $69 billion.
According to our sources, the announcement will be made later today. We’ve reached out to Amazon and EA for comment and will update you if we hear anything back.
