The Saudi-led acquisition of Electronic Arts is meeting with more friction in the US House of Congress. 46 lawmakers have signed a letter calling on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the debt-financed $55 billion deal for signs that it could be damaging for workers and anti-competitive to the point of breaking US anti-trust law.

It’s definitely noteworthy! This level of scrutiny suggests that lawmakers are increasingly aware of the potential cultural impacts and ethical considerations surrounding foreign investments in major entertainment companies. It could set a precedent for how similar acquisitions are handled in the future.
