Description
Saudi Arabia is buying out EA and it's a lot worse than you think. So any Arabia's private investment fund is purchasing Electronic Arts to take it private through a leveraged buyout. This is financially strange and saddles EA with a large amount of debt. It's also strange that the buyers don't seem particularly interested in profits instead of just influence. This video explores the financial instruments used to buy out EA, it's new owners, their obsession with AI replacing employees, and the future of the company.
