Lol, "Private" - until it someday is surprisingly purchased/acquired/enveloped by Microsoft, and added to Gamepass.
That's the headline I thought this was tbh - are any of us actually expecting like anything else out of EA?? Uh, Cod, EA Sports, Madden, FIFA.
Fr. We'll get more sports games, COD, and some you know movies themed market manipulated IP tie-in games, like the however many Mad Max type were... such games are only sometimes decent and very rarely worth $50-$100.
EA has invested all their energy maximizing profits and that has worked well but those micro transactions are like all coming from such predictable near dribble... the rest of their development has long been skewed to games that create "platforms" for micro transactions, along with the significant shift to mobile,
EA is kinda like a very well funded, well established, well equipped, super elite "Paper Tiger" - $50 billion status quo.
I guess no one (yet so far) has read the article because this would be the largest single LBO ever. EA would get saddled with the debt used to acquire it, it will amass more debt, workers will be laid-off, and games will disappear and enshittify rapidly.
Private equity needs to be razed and liquidated because these people are nothing but economic vampires who produce nothing except extraction and destruction.
