Saudi Arabia’s All-Consuming Maw Devours Electronic Arts

In a significant but controversial move, a consortium of investors led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has acquired Electronic Arts for $55 billion, marking the second-largest acquisition in video game history. This deal raises concerns about the future direction of EA, especially given the negative perception of the company's recent performance. The involvement of high-profile investors like Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners adds another layer of scrutiny, as many gamers worry about the implications for game quality and corporate ethics. This acquisition could reshape the gaming landscape, but not necessarily for the better.
