It's official: EA is going private.

In a deal involving a company owned by Jared Kushner, a company that is basically just the Saudis, and $20B of debt.

Is this better or worse than being a public company?

Depends on your perspective.

This is bad from a business, creativity, and human rights standpoint.

However, it’s good that a shitty company like EA with predatory products is going to be even more exploitative and predatory from here on out.

I enjoy watching the useful idiots get taken for a ride.

Haven’t bought an EA game in over a decade. Don’t intend to change that anytime soon.
