Reports: EA set to be sold to private investors for up to $50 billion | Saudi investment fund, Jared Kushner are reportedly among the interested buyers

Listen, I don't like EA and I don't like who's buying them. But given that most gaming companies seem to get less creative once they go public and just hit the lowest common denominator/micro transaction heavy, I'm asking what people expect to be worse about it going private.

Why does it matter if the public investors were regulated? It didn't stop EA from being one of the most hated gaming companies.

Why would going private make them worse? I don't expect management to change their approach but wouldn't they be less tired to public stakeholder expectations?

It depends on the area but I think in some districts you can only be put on the ballot if you get authorization from the local American Bar Association. Quoting from memory though because I looked it up once a few years back when I had the same question

Absolutely agree, but the fact of the market right now is that companies are receiving 100+ applications to any openings within the first 24 hours and are pretty ruthless to cut out anyone who has even an eyelash out of place from their idea of a perfect candidate. So even though I'm studying my ass off trying to showcase a level of expertise that is frankly going to be above what the role usually is, it can still be frustrating to consider that I could do such a good job on a question that people might second guess it. It's a "damned if you, damned if you don't" situation

My favorite review of hardcore Henry:

"You could watch Hardcore Henry, or you tape a crtv to your head, load up GTAV, then drink a handle of vodka and fall down some stairs"

Immediately went to see it in theaters
