Those "private investors" suck. Just in case you were curious

    Just kill off the company already. They have only put out absolute shit these last 2 decades. Just kill it and do us all a favour.

    Probably where we're headed, 'private investors' is usually code for people who are going to strip and sell off the company.

    I hope the IP lands somewhere good.

    Honestly I hope the IPs get locked up and shredded in legal battles so that we can just start fresh with some new and original ideas.

    There are some that I'd be sad about.

    I'd really like to see American Mcgee somehow get the entirety of the Alice license back under his control. That man has been trying to finish his vision in some fashion for almost 2 decades now. I think he may have finally given up, but dude has had it rough and it's obviously his lifes work. I'd also love to see someone take the Sims back to its roots and I don't think anyone is going to get the money required to do it right without getting the name.

    Last 2 decades? Mass Effect trilogy, DA: Origins, the last few good NFS games and so on all came out less than 2 decades ago.

    I will however admit I have no idea what they’ve made this last decade. I think they had an actually good Star Wars game with no MTX or online some time ago?

    First EA killed all the good developers/publishers like Codemasters.. Maxis. Visceral. Criterion. Black Box.

    ANd now they will be sold to a private investors..? What the hack.. EA is dead to me already.

    Serious question. What difference does this make? They’re already a shit corporate soulless entity, how much worse can things get? I already avoid 99% of their games

    They're being sold to the Saudis. The same guys who hacked up a journalist so they will continue the EA tradition of hacking up developers, only now 100% more physically.

    Hear me out:

    • Split Fiction and everything from Hazelight is fantastic.

    …That’s about it.

    I guess churning stuff out like F1 or Sims DLC every year isn’t particularly offensive, and they didn’t mess up ME LE too bad. And they have a history of some neat originals.

    What I’m saying is EA isn’t really the mega villain anymore. And maybe the longer-term horizon allowed by going private will help?

    Makes me even more nervous for the future of the Mass Effect franchise

    Wishing this frees up the Mirrors Edge IP for a sequel... Knowing that won't happen... Sad face....
