Friday's reports that Electronic Arts planned to go private were publicly confirmed Monday morning. Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners will join together to pay an estimated $55 billion for the video game mega-publisher in a deal being described as the "largest all-cash sponsor take-private investment in history."

Gross - guess I won't even wait for BF6 reviews to not buy the game.

Ah fuck I think they have the WRC license nowadays. Welp Dirt rally is still very good.

Actually they don't! The rights went back to NACON a few months ago. Good timing, although I know not everyone likes the older WRC games either.

They do have the license for wrc and I don't like it.

Fortunately the WRC rights went back to NACON after that one game, so they won't be affected!
