The report (paywalled) claims that investors include Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). This deal, according to the outlet’s sources, could be announced as soon as next week.

Yeah, even more hacked up reasons to not buy EA games.

Because Mister Bone Saw is a gamer bro. And they are trying to diversify their economy.

Also probably a way to spread propaganda, like the US has been doing with CoD, and whitewash their image. Just look at the last 10 years how feeble minded a large number of cis male gamers are. The angry gamer to radical right winger funnel is a real thing.
