The $55 billion takeover of Electronic Arts raises many questions. This is true for gamers, but also for employees who are waiting to find out their fate.
In a new document filed with the SEC, the publisher has updated its FAQ to answer questions from its employees. The American firm states that its mission and values “remain unchanged” if the acquisition by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) is finalized.
Furthermore, Electronic Arts also affirms that its teams will retain creative control over the games and adds that the “priority given to gamers will remain intact.”
“We will continue to be guided by our cultural values of creativity, pioneering, passion, determination, learning, and teamwork. The Consortium is supportive of and committed to investing in our exceptional employees and our strong culture.”
EA also points out that its developers have no reason to fear layoffs despite the $20 billion debt created by the acquisition. At least for now…
“There will be no immediate changes to your job, team, or daily work, as a result of this transaction.”
