EA will be a different company under private ownership

Discussion from today:

EA Announces Agreement to be Acquired by PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners (ea.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45413083 - 234 comments

Private equity is the place where companies die. They will suck out all of its value and move onto the next company.

They'll probably start releasing rehashes of every game every year with slightly different player models and names.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (2026 edition)” coming soon.

It will now be used as a vehicle for an overly complex pyramid scheme.

Well at least this will eventually clear EA out from the market.

can someone please buy ubisoft?
