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.
You must log in or # to comment.
Going private? Sounds good, less pressure from shareholders… Selling to the Saudis? Hell no! Good thing I was already boycotting them anyway
Now introducing face ID tech that will immediately brick the computer if a woman attempts to play a driving game.
Sounds like something Stephen Miller would try to implement.
You mean totally normal, “sexual matador”, Stephen Miller, whose wife (who is definitely not a foreign agent or beard) said inspires her every morning with his anti-left rants?
I love the one response I saw, “wouldn’t that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?” Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don’t paint Stephen Miller in the lights he’d rather be seen publicly.
Jokes on them I’m already wear a burka over my butthole. My call me brown eye girl
Wat
They probably want EA for the sports games so they can keep sports washing their atrocities away.
eh, still better than the us
The US doesn’t chop up journalists with a saw just yet.
No it just gives bombs to Israel so it can murder them.
I suppose that’s true. The country is not well liked in Latin America either due to all the meddling they’ve done (which was not properly covered in US history classes).
As far as the world knows they bomb the journalists house killing the whole bloodline.
yes they do.
its just out of the public eye, in their torture camps. or abroad.
One less launcher I need to figure out in Bazzite
EA - If it’s in the game, it’s in the game*'s ingame store as a microtransaction*
Welcome to the club, did that ever since they had diarrhea all over my childhood.
I miss Electronic Arts…
I honestly can’t remember a time when EA was well liked. Even in elementary school in the 90’s, it was common for kids to refer to them as Electronic Farts.
Really? They had some bangers in the 90s, such as Road Rash and Need for Speed, as well as a ton of great games they published, like Sim City. Even their sports games were generally great.
It wasn’t really until the 2000s and 2010s that their games became money grabs.
Memba full throttle
LucasArt’s Full Throttle ?
Oh shit nevermind it’s been years lol
Take away their license NFL please for the love of god
With Saudis money? Not gonna happen, be prepared for another decade (at least) of EA Sports.
Now, with extra Bone Saw.
I‘d certainly be interested to see if that‘d change any of their exploitative practices like FUT. Also hopefully that brings Codemasters back to old form… And please bring old online services back up cause money doesn‘t seem to be the issue then lol
You have to understand that a company like EA doesn’t want lots of money. They want all the money.
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.
I’m sorry, my brain read FUT as Fear, Uncertainty, and Trout
EA is still around?
