Here’s something fresh from the rumor mill, though it goes without saying that a certain amount of skepticism is required at this point: Microsoft wanted to purchase a series of large companies in the video gaming industry, including EA and Valve, to address the lack of first-party titles on Xbox.

While such speculation lands pretty much out of nowhere, Polygon says the information comes from “a reliable source close to Microsoft.”

The software giant was interested in purchasing Electronic Arts, as well as Valve and PUBG Corp., the maker of the already super-popular PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds, according to the same report.

It seems Microsoft considered such acquisitions because they would have helped the company bring more first-party games to its own Xbox gaming platform, as this is currently described as one of the main drawbacks of the company in the video gaming world.
