      EA is going to be DOA. Just go ahead and read the links. This deal leaves them $20B in debt if it goes through. Sounds like a losing proposition for gamers. Loved EA since the Commadore 64. It has been a journey and perhaps that is nearing the end old friend

      I’ve been told not to spend all my money on video games, but when Saudi Arabia does it… It’s suddenly ok?

      The funny part is people read „$1 trillion fund“ and assume it’s a $1T checking account. Most of that is illiquid, already committed, or tied to political constraints. When they say „unable to allocate more money“, it usually means they’ve hit internal exposure limits or need to cool optics for a bit, not that they’re suddenly poor.

      What worries me more is the pattern: PIF in games, sports, esports, streaming, etc. It’s not just about profits, it’s soft power and narrative control. EA is sports + kids + global brands + massive online player data. That’s a pretty powerful lever for a foreign state to own, especially one that’s not exactly big on free expression.

      Also, $55B for EA in a world where Microsoft paid ~$69B for Activision tells you how distorted sovereign money can make pricing. When your capital base is effectively oil-backed and semi-infinite, traditional valuation discipline becomes optional, and the rest of the industry has to play on that board.

      It’s the corporate version of „My card got declined at the Cheesecake Factory.“ A fund with a trillion dollars in assets claiming it’s suddenly tapped out after one big purchase? Either the math isn’t mathing, or this is a very strategic „pause.“

      Saudis just buy people and things and art they could never create themselves. It’s very sad.

      Sounds like the money is stuck in an international bank and they only need you to send over $2,000 for the processing fees and exchange rates.
      Then they’ll give you a few million from it.
