how many?
All of them
>>745230635Gonna be owned by saudis....muzzies so all the troons and DEI faggots are gone
>Spend 40 gorillion dollars buying game dev studios>Immediately fire all the game devs>??????Like, do they just want the studio name and IP rights? If you buy a restaurant and fire all the chefs, it's not the same restaurant.Maybe in the case of EA that would be good, but why are you paying money for it in the first place?Capitalists are retarded man.
>>745230805EA SPORTSIT'S IN THE GAY
>>745230635https://youtu.be/74BzSTQCl_c?si=4BdLb3WHpcJ9ZbLV&t=10EA already sucked shit by the early '00s. In 2001 they closed Bullfrog, and that's a perfect testament to who ran that brothel and what the priorities were.
>>745230804>expecting tradshit bc skydaddy from the first to embrace the kikeAnon...
Big bonus incoming
>>745230805it's all about crippling your competition
Jedi 3 cancelledMass Effect 4 cancelled. They are only interested in sports slop and online slop and mobile slop.
>>745230635I'm gonna cum
>>745230635Not enough, sadly.
>>745230908https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9c4el_LSoU
>>745230805The ips are the only assets with any value>they fired all the chefs because they were serving flop burgers and refusing to take responsibility>capitalists are retarded for firing low quality staff Question mark
>>745230635
>>745230804you have sludge where a brain should be
will it be in FC 27?
>>745231298>suggesting ea devs were low quality>when they released the best battlefield in years but also release a fifa every year.And everything was running on custom engine. All I hope is that they will cut slack from bioware and finally end this studio.
>>745230635As many as it takes.
>>745230805Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner purely bought EA so they can do jewish scams with shit that's in line with stuff like offloading debt, tax fraud, LBOs, sale-leaseback, dividend recapitalizations, etc. etc.They don't actually give a flying fuck about the video games. They are purely using the company as a vehicle to give themselves, their families, their friends, and their business partners more money in the end.
>>745231225Mass Effect 8 isn't being cancelled.
>>745230635no.....NO!!!
>>745231586>investors buy companies to make money
>>745231421those were cut so the evil boss could inflate his paycheck, different storybut dw the detritus that designed, wrote, and shipped veilguard are definitely being lit on fire, thrown from a building, and/or publicly stoned. Apparently EA no longer has the FIFA license so you can imagine where this is going, the company is probably going to be gutted and used like a cheap whore
>ea devs were low qualityYes
>>745231704Yeah, except that the VC don't actually risk anything because they will just borrow against the value of the company and then offload the buying debt onto the company itself through the newly created parent company, which has zero liquidity or liability and has no debt default risk, and then fold the parent company into EA. This way they practically use EA's money to buy EA itself.And then after that, they gut the company and will likely turn it into some AI slop shit assisted purely by pajeets, then churn out a bunch of absolute bottomfeeding games, and eventually the company goes under and Saudi Arabia + Jared Kushner gets away with it all.
>>745232092And absolutely nothing of value would have been lost
i really don't give a shit about what a happends to EA desu, but i do hope they burn one way or another
>>745230804Jared KushnerSaudi is zogged, they're loyal to israel.Saudis literally paid Kusher to own part of it.
>>745231161Ear checkThis man looks jewish.
Deserved for what they did to Origin and all those other companies.
>>745232092as a gaymer I'm only interested in two outcomes: EA does better and makes good games, EA does worse than now and makes shit games
>>745230635I think the more important question is, how will the laid off EA devs one-up the laid off Bethesda devs when the Saudis come to visit?My money is on a giant inflatable Khashoggi getting beheaded surrounded by pride flags for each person laid off.
>>745233029>Saudi is zogged, they're loyal to israelThis, they worked with Israel to conduct 9/11.
>>745230805>Like, do they just want the studio name and IP rights?yeahmost of the dogshit from recent years would not sell at all if it were a new IP, this shit is just coasting off name recognition from the first games that were made by "chefs" that probably aren't even working there anymore. Firing the incompetent retards there now isn't going to hurt their sales at all.>Capitalists are retarded man.the irony is palpable
>>745230805>all the game devsRetard. EA would be firing them right now if they couldn't pass the buck.
>>745231586>I am very smart>they are using magic somehowPlease stop, anon. You're just spewing out random buzzwords while acting cynical.
>>745231161People always post that as if the shareholders just love being generous for no reason with their CEOs.
>>745233502>accidentally do something anti muslim>immediately find out that they are below them in the leftwing hierarchies sad
>>745230635was ea EVER good though?
>>745230805They just want the Ball games
>make a deal to go private>take on $48b of debt>will cost $1.8b in interest every year>only make $1.5b in net operating incomeKek, EA cant even service the debt it is taking on
>>745234671Not really
>>745234784Wtf? What kind of jewish trick is that?
>>745233697Most conservatives pre ww2 were anti capitalist.
>>745230635i imagine the saudis are gonna gut it to just produce footy shovelware and maybe keep the sims .>look at EA franchises>90% are dead and not even worth selling anymoregrim
>>745234784a fitting end for them. live by the jewery, die by the jewery.
>>745230635i miss it
>>745230805>do they just want the studio name and IP rightsDuh. IP is the only thing valuable there.
>>745234529Executive salaries in other countries are nowhere near as high even when the companies are of a comparable size.
>>745234490I literally explained here >>745232092Retard.
Hm... wonder what's going to happen here? Star Wars is functionally a dead franchise, it's some kind of turn-based tactical game, and it was made by commie troons...
>>745234671>was ea EVER good though?Pre-2010 they were pretty good. They had a lot of great games both developed and published.>The Sims>Battlefield>Need for Speed>Dragon Age: Origins>Mass Effect>American McGee's Alice>Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1/2 + Tiberian Sun>Dungeon Keeper>Medal of Honor>SSX Tricky>Star Wars: Battlefront>Rock Band>Skate>Dead Space>Mirror's Edge>SimCity>Road Rash>Theme Hospital>Future Cop: LAPD>System Shock 2>Nox>Delta Force>Black & White>NBA Street>F1 2001>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone>The Simpsons: Road Rage>Def Jam: Fight for NY>Hellgate: London>Crysis>Burnout Paradise>Army of Two>BrĂ¼tal LegendJust to name some of them.
>>745231349Hating on getting rid of faggot liberalsIt's you who has sludge for brains.
>>745234671Several of the devs they bought and killed were good.
>>745236337>checked wtf was the guy in the video rambling about>some schizo obsessed with gays and trannieswhy are these people like this
>>745230635If not all then at least 50%.
>>745234784EA executives jewing arabs and kushner (also a jew) is based in a way.
If some saudi prince is reading this, please give American Mcgee the ALICE IP back
what does EA even have besides fifa and maybe battlefield at this point?
>>745240275He doesn't give a shit about the IP anymore. He's literally making millions selling chink-made plushies about mental health issues to vulnerable kids and teens. He also moved to China years ago and has a chinese wife and mixed chinese kids and fully shills china every day on twitter.
>>745240275please don't that faggot doesn't deserve it.
>>745234671No, but most studios they had under their wing were, but they threw them away as if they were disposable garbage
>>745241163>american mcgee>becomes a chinense cocksleevekek
>>745230805A public corporation is always under pressure to increase earnings. take-private LBOs can just throw out all the moonshot shit that the public corporation chased (e.g. GaaS behemoths) and pare the corp down to the stuff that actually has consistent income, which in EA's case is the sportscattle gacha games. Incidentally the only thing that could possibly save Bioware from being considered a pointless cost is the Amazon Mass Effect show that someone might be able to convince Silver Lake has a chance of being as big as the Fallout show.
>>745242034It is ironic isn't it. But if you read his biography, you'd become a chink shill too if you had subhumans for parents.
>>745230805>Immediately fire all the game devsYes, because in your analogy the chefs have taken the recipe of Dragon Age and turned it into something that is not even in the same culinary universe, and then they wonder why nobody eats there anymore.
>>745237078Until they started to gut those companies they bought like Westwood, Bullfrog.
>>745240338They have a lot. They just won't do anything with it.
>>745230635I hope the new skate game will be ok, i enjoy it.
>>745230805>If you buy a restaurant and fire all the chefs, it's not the same restaurant.Good because the food here sucks ass
>>745235412What ip? EA doesn't have the FIFA license anymore and they proved it doesnt matter what its called, the only reason they make money is because there's no other football games. This is true of all their sports ball shit. Outside sports they have nothing of value
>>745230635>big layoffsDid Christmas come early this year?
>>745242589Red Alert 2 which everyone fellates was developed after Westwood got gutted.
>>745244273Considering they never made a good game after red alert 2 I'd say the gutting had a negative effect
>>745230805>If you buy a restaurant and fire all the chefs, it's not the same restaurant.thats the point retard, get rid of the incompetent chefs, put your own and keep the recipes
>>745231586what a sad state of affairs"executive officer" is derived from a different kind of "execution", because longevity and prosperity of a legal entity that is a company is opposed by people who """invest""" into it
