EA's CEO has commented on acquisition ru🐲mors surrounding the company.

Yesterday on August 2, EA held a first quarter financial earnings call, in which CEO Andrew Wilson fielded questions from investors. As first reported by , when asked about a potential acquisition of EA, the CEO answ♏ered that he didn't think the EA could "be in a stronger position as a standalone company."

"Ouꦏr... objective is always to take care of our people, our players, and our shareholders," Wilson continued. "Should there ever be a way for us to do that differently than▨ the way we're doing it today, I of course have to be open to that, but I would tell you today we feel very very confident and excited for our future," the CEO concluded on the matter.

Wilson's comments are interesting in the context of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's a🦩cquisition of Activision Bli🍸zzard, which first kicked off back in January earlier this year. When the deal goes through (澳洲幸运5开奖号𒁏码历史查询:if it even gets past regu♊lators at all), it'll officially make EA the largestဣ standalone c▨ompany without a parent corporation in the entire games industry.

Hence why there's been speculation on the possibility of EA being acquired by a larger company, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft or Sony. In fact, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick revealed earlier this year in January that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:company had actually considered a m🔥erger with EA, prior to Microsoft's offer of an acquಌisition. EA is remaininܫg independent for now, but it's clearly open to inciting offers. 

As recently as April earlier this year, Sony said it had "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:more studio acquisitions planned" in the future.
