RE: https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/117042240492786349
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.

"Den mit Abstand größten Anteil hält künftig der saudische Staatsfonds PIF mit rund 93 Prozent."
Solltet ihr im Hinterkopf behalten, wenn ihr weiterhin deren Games kaufen wollt.

To pre-order FIFA... sorry, FC27, the starting price is 1199 kr. in Norway. That's 125 US dollars / 108 EUR for a digital download.
Which, if I flip my region to an EU region I can get for 69.99 EUR.
:pepe_fine:
Not that I'm going to buy it anyway, but game prices can be pretty crazy.

"EA’s games still have a dedicated fanbase, although its annual revenues have stagnated in recent years, hovering between $7.4bn and $7.6bn."
Ohhh, boo-hoo. Imagine only making $7,500,000,000 year-on-year and being worried that line does not go up 🥹
According to MacroTrends data, Electronic Arts annual net profit for 2025 was $1.1B and $1.2B in 2024.
That's net profit - even after they paid their CEO $30 million in 2024.
So much money. Jeepers.
