A rumor appears stating that Microsoft would be studying the acquisition of the video game giant, Electronic Arts, an acquisition that would turn Microsoft into an industry titan.

The rumors are the day to day in the hardware, cryptocurrency and video game industry and many times, as they say, when the river sounds, water carries. Well, the latest rumor is titanic, since a possible acquisition by Microsoft of the video game company Electronic Arts, which is the largest and most important in the world, has jumped in the last few hours. There are no details regarding this possible operation, but Microsoft would seek to increase its position in the market and supply the Xbox One with exclusive games, something that would destroy its competitor, Sony.

This rumor surfaced on the gaming website Polygon , where the company's plans were mentioned in a special article about the lack of exclusive titles for the Xbox One, which is far fewer than Sony's. The article cites a 'reliable' source 'close to Microsoft'. Microsoft is also reportedly considering acquiring Valve, a more expensive and complex option, or Bluehole, the studio behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Microsoft currently has $130.000 billion to spend, and EA is valued at around $35.000 billion.

Some of the names that are being considered as possible acquisitions by Microsoft are, frankly, astonishing, even unthinkable. But the fact that they are doing the rounds is instructive. The most recent one we heard (from a trusted source close to Microsoft) was, in fact, Electronic Arts. We also heard a rumor about Valve and Korean group PUBG Corp. (Bluehole), which Microsoft signed on last year for a timed exclusive for their hit survival shooter, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. '

Joost Van Dreunen, an analyst at SuperDataResearch, has told Polygon that he expects new data on the acquisition to come out very soon. 'Because of where we are, in the life cycle of all these things, I look forward to hearing Microsoft announce something very, very soon.'
