Why the $55 billion EA deal is bigger than you think
Saudi Arabia just paid $55 billion to buy EA (Electronic Arts) - and they deliberately overpaid by nearly $14 billion. This isn’t about business. It’s about controlling an American and Western company like EA who creates your favourite games like EA FC, The Sims, Madden NFL, Battefield 6 and many more.
The same regime that enforces the capital punishment for homosexuality now owns The Sims, a game that champions LGBTQ+ inclusion for 25 years. Jared Kushner brokered the entire deal behind closed doors, continuing his controversial relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
This is the largest corporate takeover in history, and it’s just the beginning. Saudi Arabia is systematically buying up gaming companies as part of their desperate Vision 2030 plan - and your favorite franchises are next.
What happens when authoritarian regimes weaponize entertainment? The answer is more terrifying than you think.
