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.

EA 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.

Saudi 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.

those were cut so the evil boss could inflate his paycheck, different story
but 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 quality
Yes
>>
>>745231704
Yeah, 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.

I 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.

yeah
most 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.

A 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.

Yes, 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.

Until they started to gut those companies they bought like Westwood, Bullfrog.

"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
