La compra apalancada de EA con $20.000M de deuda lo cambia todo. La prioridad será pagar la deuda: Foco total en franquicias gigantes (EA FC y Apex) para flujo de caja. Alto riesgo de despidos masivos y reestructuraciones para recortar costos y eliminar proyectos no rentables.

Some important context I think people are missing is that Saudi Arabia *already* owns 10% of Electronic Arts. It's the company's third-largest institutional shareholder.

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

If I really dig into my empathy, I can kinda see the thinking here. Like, let's say you don't actually know much about games. You're in a big office with a bunch of other execs who also don't know much about games. What are they all saying?
"Live games do big numbers!"
"Action games are hot!"
"Live games do big numbers!"
"Action games are hot!"
EA has learned all the wrong lessons from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it's going to be disastrous for the future of Mass Effect 5—if it even has a future
No EA RPG is safe from the publisher's obsession with live service.
