How will he change EA?
>>
I don't care, as long as everyone at Bioware gets fired and there's a huge article about how gamers are evil for making this happen then I'm happy.
>>
>>722539427
Realistically nothing much will change. EA will still pump out literal garbage.
>>
>>722539427
(((Kushner)))? Probably make it more gay and jewish.

Strips the copper from the walls, fires everybody not related to AAA money-burners and money-earners, pretends he's not aware the interest on the loan taken to buy EA exceeds EA's yearly profit (NOT REVENUE, REAL PROFIT)

I don't know why any of you think EA is going to do anything but die as a direct result of this, they're not gonna be the one company magically engoodened by private-equity buyouts. Fucking shills the lot of you
>>
>>722539427
it was a leveraged buyout* so I assume they are either going to just straight up bankrupt EA and sell it for parts or they are going to spin off EA sports, keep making sports games and sell all the other IPs off for parts
*a leveraged buyout is some jewish magic where you somehow get the company to take out loans to buy itself so the company is liable to the debt used to buy it but you, the actual guy who fucking bought it, somehow are not liable for any of the debts incurred in buying the company

There are people who think that this is a good thing? I don't care for EA but they're probably going to shit the bed harder than they already were.
>>
>>722539674
I have no problem with EA dying.
>>
>>722539427
Put ICE ads in games?
>>
>>722539674
>>722540334
I thought it was good until someone finally posted an article saying it was a leveraged buyout. I thought the saudis just bought it in cash, which at that point there's no way EA could have become worse by going private and I figured the saudis would keep it afloat to sports wash and diversify but it's a leveraged buyout so that shit is getting sold for parts
>>
leveraged buyouts seems like one those cartoonishly evil things that should've been made illegal in the post-great depression era
>>
>>722540314
Someone buys a company, fucks it up on purpose, then sells it for more than they paid. How does this even work?
>>
>>722539427
The best spots teams will now be Israeli and they will push out way more arab killing games.
>>
>>722540669
they keep "banning" it, but it's basically the same thing over and over, look up corporate raiding
>no we totally banned corporate raiding
>>722540717
you buy some big company that has a lot of assets but isn't making money like remington or toys r us or red lobster
somehow you transfer the debt from the loans you took out to buy the company to the company itself through jewish magic
you then sell every asset you can to yourself, toys r us and red lobster sold their land to the firms that owned them
you then pay yourself consulting fees to manage the companies
raise stock prices and shit by cutting benefits and quality, remmingshit was selling guns that rusted before you even took them home
you then use those cut costs to take out more loans to pay yourself
in red lobster's case they had that unlimited shrimp and then they made red lobster buy shrimp from their shrimp company at more than market rate
once you've taken every dime you can out of the company via taking the land it's on and making the company pay you fees and rent using loans you declare the company bankrupt and insolvent, tell the banks you can't pay them back and somehow all the liability falls on the company you just raped and not you
>>
>>722539427
Will close down everything that isn't sport and gaas
>>
>>722539427
hopefully purge all of the subhuman leftists
>>
>>722539674
haha oh noooo please don't die EA, I couldn't stand it if your IP got sold off for pennies on the dollar to some tajikistani studio to make shit mobile games like you already make
>>
>>722540506
Ultimately yeah this is just the big western video game crash everybody was kinda hoping for for the past ten years. Ubisoft's doing something similar in trying to divest all of its IPs off to a branch studio that will get bought by Tencent and leave a zombie behind to leave the shareholders in the dust, which is also incredibly illegal and may actually net jail-time for everybody at Ubisoft trying to do it
>>
>>722539427
>all games feature a 10 minute intro video of Ivanka dancing in a slingshot bikini
>EA becomes the first quadrillion dollar game company overnight
>>
I just don't get the point. what do saudis stand to gain from this? and kushner himself? it's pretty fuckin' fishy if you ask me. maybe it's some kind of fucked up laundering scheme, I don't know. maybe it's just the trump administration putting another egg in their basket, trying to gain influence from one of the richest places on earth (the UAE, well, if you're a richfag who lives there like in dubai or something)
>>
>>722539427
>private equity
>leveraged buyout
By raping it to death and then pawning off pieces of the corpse.
>>
>>722539612
This. The best outcome is them stopping being so gay and cancerous ending with being conatined as it should've been
>>
>>722541803
it's a know jewish moneymaking scam. they've been doing this shit for at least half a century. Look up toys r us, red lobster and remington. What they are going to do is split the company off into 2 parts
>EA sports
>EA fag shit
and they are going to move everything they want to keep into EA sports and everything bad into the fag shit with all the debt and then declare bankruptcy on the debt, maybe pay a small fine and make money off whatever jewish scam shit they normally make money off of doing this bullshit. Fifa and maybe like madden and possibly the sims will be fine. mass effect and command and conquer and titanfall and all those other IPs are DEAD forever and via the power of jewdism kushner and the saudies will make a billy in profit

I thought you guys loved Trump to the point where you'd suck his dick instead of mine.
>>
>>722542049
yeah that sounds pretty terrible, but on the other hand, at least EA will finally die the death it's deserved for a long time now.
>>722542216

I don't.

>>722542137
Are you under the impression Bulletstorm was based around skill? Would be nice getting Cliffy back to Gears if he doesn't pull a Lawbreakers again

How much money would 4chan cost in the case of a takeover. I want to change this website for the better

>>722539674
If EA doesn't care about me as a customer, why should I care about EA?

i haven't used an ea product in over a decade, so this doesn't affect me

Good
>EA dies
It's fine too
I dunno, it feels like a win/win situation either way.

trump's based compared to any other alternative, but I'm still antisemitic

>>722542578
4chan's not public, you can't buy it unless heroshima moot sells. though I can't imagine it costs too much because doesn't it not make money?
>>
>>722542578
>implying anyone would want 4chan

>>722541449
So Kushner and Saudis will basically suck EA dry right?

Yeah man. I REALLY shilled for EA kek

>>722540506
>but it's a leveraged buyout
What does this mean?

>>722541449
i still won't buy remington or marlin
>>
>>722539427
Hopefully get rid of the feminist lens and other progressive dogma used in their male audience franchises like BF, ME and DA. Even if they don't and EA dies that's still a good outcome by taking a major propaganda player off the board.

Its when you buy something using borrowed money, and put up the thing you're buying as collateral.

Why would any company agree to this?

>>722543156
>Why would any company agree to this?
The managers agree to it.
The managers get paid to agree to it.
>>
>>722543156
Because company executives are rewarded regardless of whether the company they run does well or not. Andrew Wilson and co. will get out with golden parachutes while the everyone else gets fucked and the PE firms profit off it.
>>
>>722542854
I'd be shocked if anything other than like Fifa and the sims and maybe madden survives
>>722542974
it means that via some form of jewish magic they took out a loan to buy EA, but the saudis aren't liable for the loan, EA is liable for the loan, so somehow the saudis bought EA with a loan EA took out
>>
>>722543021
I don't think remingshit even makes guns anymore. I think someone just owns the name. the ammo is fine. there was never any issue with remington ammo and that was one of the only parts of the business that sold for money
I might buy a ruger-marlin if they make a 24 inch octagonal cowboy barrel gun, but otherwise I'd rather save up and buy a pre WWI marlin or winchester 1873
>>722543027
I'd be shocked if the non sports studios out any games
>>
>>722543156
>>722543210
>>722543265
the loans need to be paid off in 5-7 years. the bank that loaned the money is going to make a mint off this, EA is going to take out new loans to pay off the old loans and then it's going to be like the 4th or 5th round of investors holding the bank. Toys R Us, Remington, red lobster, ect all paid back their original investors and lasted 10 years before going bankrupt. it's a big jewish club and none of the jews are going to be holding the bag at the end
>>
>>722543626
don't sleep on the browning b92s i've owned or shot all the lever guns and as far as fit, finish, accuracy, action smoothness, and ease of disassembly it's the best.
>>
>>722539674
>EA is going to do anything but die
That's an improvement thoughbeit.
>>
>>722543813
are those the nip ones? I think it's funny as fuck that fake winchester/fake browning advertises their lever guns as japanese made, which they are, but then tries to hide the fact their other guns are made in yuro countries like portugal, turkey and belgium
>>
>>722543764
Don't worry bro, AI is gonna help EA's slash development costs down to next to nothing. The profit margins are gonna be HUGE, those loans are already paid off. Trust the plan.
>>
>>722543973
yes the one i had was from 1979 or 1982 i think. they make great guns but they don't have the safeties or ugly billboard roll marks. unless you want pedigree then by all means get vintage
>>
>>722539427
I'm thinking slop (flavour: red)
>>
>>722544040
oh if they are from the 70s/80s I think they are still US made at that point, still fake winchester, but American fake winchester. I heard the nip guns are basically the best versions of the guns ever, but they have gay ass safeties that constantly automatically engage and you can't get them customized from the factory, which granted you couldn't so since real winchester went tits up in the 1930s anyway

>>722544113
they aren't going to put out any games at all, commie. I'd assume they are going to drop production on everything that isn't a sports game or an FPS
>>
>>722544204
Don't think, just be mad about everything

>>722544151
true but turnbull restoration does safety deletes on the miroku guns if that's something you're into.

u sound butthurted

True. Last time I gave EA money was when I bought Dead Space 3 and I never forgave them for it.

What will happen to The Sims?
>>
>>722544323
I have a henry .22. I feel like I'd only buy a centerfire lever gun if it was vintage. I don't hunt and my state is shotgun only so the only way I'd buy a miroku gun is if I was for some reason hunting out of state. I think turnbull also sells those cool red dot mounts for lever guns
>>722544337
you sound like you wear your mother's clothes
>>
>>722544481
oh yeah for sure. i'd only consider the nice miroku guns if you were concerned about accuracy for hunting. the vintage guns are great in their own way
>>
>>722544462
more microtransaction dlc sloppa. I assume the sims is profitable
>>
>>722544462
It's probably going to die which I don't want honestly.
>>
>>722544652
Why? They've been shit for decades
>>
>>722544701
1-3 are all great, and 4 is good if you pirate everything and get mods
>>
>>722544701
Eh, aside from plenty of missteps Sims 4 is in a decent spot right now. I'd imagine they'd sell Maxis off to some chink devs to kill off any future potential of the series.
>>
>>722544786
It was garbage 10 years ago and it's garbage now, but with a bunch of shit on top that does nothing except break the game even more.

The best thing that can come out of this is them deciding TS4 is absolutely haram and shutting it down for good.
>>
>>722544204
I played that star wars game because I let myself get tricked into thinking it was an action game. I paid like 5 bucks for it which is the only reason I felt comfortable risking money on an EA game and unsurprisingly it was garbage. Before that I played dragon age inquisition so pretty accurate.
>>
>>722543460
I don’t know how does that practice make sense.
>>
>>722539427
more subtle pro israeli messaging
cost cutting via layoffs
leveraging AI in every aspect to additionally reduce labor cost

from what I understand the banks know the whole thing is a jewish scam but they make way more on interest rates and fees and because the loan terms are 5-7 years they don't actually default on those loans at a rate that much higher than public companies. you have to be a couple of cycles of investors in before you get fucked, when they do the bankruptcy bullshit the banks of course get out the cleanest and normal people would get fucked. there's also other weird shit with again 401k and public pension fund accounts where the fund manager doesn't care since it's other people's money and they will invest in these scams because it
"diversifies" their holdings so if the stock market in general takes a hit but EA doesn't die at that precise point in time the fund manager can point to diversifying assets as a reason to not get fired
>>
>>722539427
>How will he change EA?

in no way, why would anything change?
all thats happening is that its getting taken off the stock market, the board and management stays the same
the ceo and every retard at EA will stay, and will be paid tens of millions to do even shittier job
>>
>>722546015
The world of finance is intrinsically nonsensical.

From what is told from bullshit
>Kushner is a big WC fanboy as the origin of the old because those were thinkin man games.
>Saw Madden as the pinnacle of NFL games
>Had friends who loved blackbox era and classic NFS games, both who died after carbon due to EA's new management
>Saw Sim City and old Maxis as the best way to teach everyone about how things work, literally sees the sims 2 and 3 as the gold and silver age of the franchise, SC3 and 4 the best city builders of its era and the original 2 being the windows release as SC2000 as the reason of why manhy people became interested in engineering in first place, mainly SC who was even forked by Exxon to make a refinery management simulator to teach employees about their job, which did well.
