Imagine if the troop deployment was like call of duty IRL. You’d have Cardi B, and Family guy slide cancelling through a Portland farmers market with an M16 collecting kill confirmed tags.

The dynamic is going to be weird because the money is mainly coming from the Saudi Royals, but from what I was reading this is still a leveraged buyout, meaning they are taking loans in order to afford the full $50B price tag. Again the Saudis are weird because they don't really always care about "getting their money back" but all the PE firm (who are also presumably putting up a big share of this money) wants is to milk EA and their IP for all it's worth and I assume there is a limit to how long of a runway even the SA royals are willing to give as they continue to pay back the loans they are taking on this deal... So yeah this could go a bunch of different ways and it's definitely not the same as being public but IMO this will probably end up in some specific IPs being spun off for absurd price tags and then after that maybe the lack of investor pressure could mean EA actually makes some decent games. Who knows.

Groceries not restaurants. No Frills before exchange was like looking at pre pandemic price tags. I worked as a grocery wholesaler until 2022.
