As someone with no experience whatsoever on economics (i.e., I might not be seeing something critical), I think Amazon is not that weird as a potential buyer: they already own Twitch, and there's probably a huge overlap between the two userbases. They'd have a pretty strong hold on two distinct parts of the gaming community.

(In response to yourself and the other Amazon reply) I mostly agree, especially given Twitch and the potential futures ecosystems there. I think it might be a bit harder with antitrust as well, but don't ask me why that is the case, but it reminds of Congress having antitrust hearings where they drag in Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Apple, but constantly never included Microsoft, which now seems to be the most likely buyer).
