EA Shareholders Vote on Buyout

Okay, so EA’s finally going private after that huge $55 billion deal! It’s all happening thanks to this group backed by Saudi Arabia. Basically, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) is taking the lead with a massive 93.7% ownership. It’s kinda cool actually, because the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, is a big gamer himself! This isn’t the first time they’ve gotten involved with gaming companies either. They already own most of SNK – the folks who made classics like Fatal Fury and King of Fighters. Plus, they’ve got smaller investments in Nintendo, Take-Two, and Capcom, so they’re clearly serious about the industry.
