@GameSpotSaudi Arabia’s wealth fund is weighing a merger between EA and Savvy Games, the latter of which is currently in the process of closing a $6B acquisition of a Chinese mobile giant. This potential deal would bring franchises like Madden and Pokémon Go under one company, and could result in the creation of one of the world's biggest gaming entities.
@RinoTheBouncerSaudi Arabia is considering merging Electronic Arts with Savvy Games Group to create a massive global gaming enterprise🚀 They aim to: ✅Combine under one roof for more efficient management ✅No final decision yet Source: @Bloomberg I wonder what this will mean for the quality and funding of games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge and the many dormant EA IPs that suffered the worst under their terrible former management. Will they keep them? Sell them off? I hope these IPs find a much better fate, with or without them, because there’s boundless potential in them🥺

@cosmicbooknewsSaudi Arabia is reportedly weighing a massive new gaming move. The plan would merge Electronic Arts with Savvy Games — putting Madden NFL, Battlefield, The Sims, and Pokémon Go under one roof. But the bigger story is who’s behind it. The same Saudi fund building this gaming giant also has billions tied up in the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal. Our insiders told us months ago what the kingdom wanted: Major entertainment assets. Major franchises. Massive theme-park IP. Now look at what’s happening. more: https://cosmicbook.news/saudis-ea-savvy-merger
@_ale_csThe Saudi PIF looking to merge ESL/FACEIT group with EA would be catastrophic for CS and Valve. WHEN will Valve get a backbone to stop ANY government backed investment into their game. Let alone a sports-washing initiative designed to mask the Saudi’s human rights abuses.

@NartOutHere‼️ Today, news reports came out that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is considering merging Electronic Arts with Savvy Games Group to create a gaming giant Savvy owns ESL FACEIT Group, which operates ESL and FACEIT, meaning a major part of the Counter-Strike ecosystem could potentially come under the same ownership as EA If the deal happens, do you think it would impact Counter-Strike? If so, how? 👀
