EA goes private with Saudi backing — experts warn of job cuts and single-player abandonment

Electronic Arts has been taken private by a consortium of private equity firms and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund after months of regulatory approvals. Industry experts warn the acquisition debt could force EA to abandon single-player games in favour of live-service titles, relocate development to Saudi Arabia and cut staff. The deal marks one of the biggest ownership changes in gaming history.
