EA Close To Deal To Sell Company And Go Private
insider-gaming.com
According to a new report, Electronic Arts (EA) is nearing a deal that would see a sale of the company to investors and go private.

The report (paywalled) claims that investors include Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). This deal, according to the outlet’s sources, could be announced as soon as next week.

Yeah, looks like I’ll be permanently boycotting anything EA now.

      Yeah, but that‘s usually stakeholder-driven. Of course, it could be all the same if and when they go private, but this move just seems unprecedented to me so it‘s interesting to observe if it does have any impact in this regard.
