Electronic Arts is going private, with the video game giant announcing they’ve been sold to PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners in a $55 billion deal. EA announced on Monday that they’ve entered an agreement to be sold by an investor consortium comprised of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and the Jared Kushiner-founded Affinity Partners in an all-cash deal that takes the company private.

Hopefully this will be good for EA.

Also between what MS spent and this purchase, the total 130 billion dollars could really have helped the world.

This feels like a huge one! But I’m not sure it’ll change much for players. This is never a surprise to me because EA’s been about the money for years, so a buyout like this just makes sense to me. .
