    The best part is the IP will go cheap in a few years.

  They’re cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has “leverage buyout”-ed a company into the ground.

  They’ll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.

    Are they? EA isn’t some company that was on its last legs. They’re taking a healthy hog to slaughter. It is going to take some time to reach the marrow.

      They made 1.5b in revenue last year, and the company was bought for 55b. The math does not make sense.

  I kinda hope EA doesn’t deliver much return on this bet. I sure won’t consume anything from them, anyway. Even put in a request to remove my EA Account.

  I can only imagine that the woman in the pic is laughing at this ridiculous headline. Guess what, EA, you’ve fucked yourself.

  I can’t wait until EA’s IPs gets sold and teams reassemble at better companies.
