Electronic Arts (EA), known for popular games like The Sims and Madden NFL, has been acquired for $55 billion by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and partners including Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners. This deal, approved recently by the EU, takes EA private after 36 years as a public company. The acquisition reflects Saudi Arabia's growing interest in gaming and esports, while EA faces increasing competition and recent revenue stagnation. As a private company, EA will no longer report quarterly earnings, potentially reducing pressure to meet short-term targets, though past layoffs suggest cost management may continue.
