One of the biggest stories in gaming this year is EA’s pending $55 billion deal to be sold to a investor consortium led by Saudi Arabia. The sale could have ripple effects across the wider industry, and now Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has weighed in with his thoughts about it all.
Speaking during Take-Two’s latest earnings briefing, Zelnick said he is “not sure” about how the competitive market could shake out if EA does indeed go private. This would leave Take-Two the last publicly traded company–of a certain scale–in the American video game business, an analyst pointed out.
Some have theorized EA going private could be a boon for Take-Two, but Zelnick isn’t keen to assume that will be the case.
