I think the thing throwing me off about the EA acquisition (other than EA showing not outward signs that they are in Ubi-styled financial trouble) is

how does a company in 2025 look at the trail of corpses left by private equity firms and go “well, it didn’t work out for all those guys…. but it might just work for us!”

I imagine it’s a short term get the money and get out kind of deal. Not their problem anymore in the long term because they’ll be sitting on a beach making a nice percentage

yeah the people making decisions take the payout and leave so they don’t care about long term.

look at the leads of all the big companies that sold out over the years, ride out whatever is on their contract then go use their name to start a new studio.

Some random YouTuber I guess picked up on an ARG that might be a stealth announcement of a new Frictional Games title.

I don’t know who’s making all this shit happen to put all my favorite old games on Steam all of a sudden but you can buy Shadow President again, the game that gave us israel.gif

All they have to do is put Hidden Agenda on here and you can take the same basic political education through dos course I had as a child lol.

Now they just need to get the rights to CYBERJUDAS the sequel which looks like how I imagine all the politicians in the killer7 universe see the world

the dialogue in cyberjudas is literally guys in dark rooms saying shit to you like “We believe the shadow network is being compromised from within. Internally…from your cabinet. You may have already had contact. Governments will fall, and the innocent will die before this is done” and “This was just the first level of terrorism from within your inner circle. This access code will allow you to enter level two of this operation. Remember it. Expect patterns to emerge. Break the pattern before all hell breaks loose”

Predicting they close and sell off everything except Fifa/FC because someone in the royal family is a huge football fan

I mean, said royal family got a football sex pest in King of Fighters, so this isn’t even conjecture, really.

anyway, how the fuck does a company that gets free money from fifa, madden, and 2 sims expansion packs a year fuck up badly enough that ‘saudi PE leveraged buyout’ is even on the table. at least the management will be heavily punished, since financial capitalism is a very just and fair system
