EA's $55 billion sale to Saudi Arabia and private equity firms will close next week, the company expect, having secured "all regulatory approvals required".

    If you think installing Saudi Ring-0 software on your PC is a good idea, you need your head examined.

    Hopefully this will hasten the demise of EA and some of the IP they are holding on to will have a chance to escape to a company which cares about making good games.

      Last I read the “deal” is saddling EA with $20 billion in debt, so here’s hoping.

      But also, leveraged buyouts are fucking disgusting and should be illegal.

    Private equity firm you say!? I expect EA will be dead within 5 years and their carcass of IP sold for scrap on the used market.
