  3. Idée : on devrait avoir un badge sur Steam quand on arrive à lancer un jeu EA.
    J'ai essayé codeweavers.com/compatibility/ et ce badge n'apparaîtrait pas sur mon profil.

  4. Nuovi retroscena sui compensi di Andrew Wilson: sebbene sia emersa la cifra di 38,6 milioni, i documenti ufficiali EA rivelano un compenso effettivo pari a 77 milioni di dollari. Una discrepanza che accende il dibattito sulle politiche retributive nel tech. #gamingnews #ea #andrewwilson

  7. @Satiah Well, I believe most of them sold but below expectations (aka, put $100M, expect $300M, receive $150M = below expectations).

    I believe #EA thinks that deadpan franchises are more valuable being sold now to pay part of the debt, than later because they require to invest.

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It's $500M right now, or speculate in 4 years and may be receive less.

  9. I'm 100% sure these are the franchises that #EA will sell to start paying their $18B debt:

    - #MassEffect: large dev time
    - #DragonAge: same
    - #DeadSpace: survival horror doesn't sell
    - #MirrorsEdge: parkour is too niche
    - #CommandAndConquer: RTS is so 2000
    - #DungeonKeeper: same
    - #Populus: same
    - #Burnout: market shifted to sims
    - #ArmyOfTwo: they have BF
    - #MedalOfHonor: same
    - #Syndicate: same

    It's a large list. It's worth $500M, give or take. $1.7B to go LOL.

  11. Svolta storica nel gaming: Electronic Arts esce dal mercato azionario con un leveraged buyout da 55 miliardi di dollari. L’operazione, legata a capitali sauditi, punta all'integrazione dell'IA nel futuro del colosso. È la seconda acquisizione più grande di sempre. #GamingNews #EA

  12. Electronic Arts passa al fondo saudita PIF per 55 miliardi di dollari. Con il passaggio a società privata, il colosso del gaming avvia un drastico piano di spending review: obiettivo 700 milioni di tagli entro l'anno. Inizia una fase di profonda ristrutturazione. #gamingnews #ea #pif

  13. EA sold itself for $55 billion this week. Mostly to Saudi Arabia. The layoffs got announced to lenders before employees even heard about the deal closing.

  15. Over 24 hours since I opened a case to delete my EA account, and there has been no action on it.

    Are they being overloaded with requests, or do they not care? Or is it both?

  17. RE: mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux

    aside from the ownership change - which is unquestionably bad itself - according to Bloomberg, EA also "will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies".

    in other words: there's going to be another wave of mass layoffs.

    I guess they'll have to either resign before layoffs proceed, or unionise ASAP.

  19. Nevertheless, as far as young minds in local jurisdiction go, I still consider it quite an issue also in other contexts, for guys outside the regional political traditions, to get to freely broadcast a 'political ideology of sorts' as if a totally legit thing. Ideally, youth should be able to understand that stuff, such as that prohibition of other religions in Saudi Arabia, it's not something we are reverting back to, no matter the billions. But well...
