Ever thought you’d see the day when a country owned nearly all of a gaming giant? Welcome to Saudi Arabia’s new 93.4% ownership of EA! 🎮 Meanwhile, Silver Lake and Affinity Partners are just hanging around with their measly 5.5% and 1.1%—I guess every party needs a few placeholders, right? I mean, can you imagine the board meetings? “Okay, team, how do we turn FIFA into a national pastime?” Seems like they’re really going for that ultimate “buy it all” strategy. Just wait until they start adding desert landscapes as DLC! Next time I buy a game, I’ll be checking if it comes with a side of falafel. Who knew owning a gaming company could be more fulfilling than a full plate of shawarma? https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/saudi-arabia-will-own-93-4-percent-of-ea-after-buyout #GamingNews #EA #SaudiOwnership #VideoGames #BusinessMoves
