  Going private could have been a net positive. But, not from venture capitalists, and certainly not from the Saudis.

  Also, taking on this much debt as part of the buyout is just asking to be gutted and carved out, complete with record-breaking layoffs.

    So we won't even get a shitty titanfall 3?

      Titanfall is cooked. They’re 100% killing the servers. I guess we’ll have to go back to the northstar client.

        And now we wait for the potential “spiritual successor” 🤞 .

      Why does it even matter? Why would you buy it?

        I wouldn't buy it if it was bad, but any form of titanfall 3 would at least be something

    All we can hope for is that after EA gets absolutely gutted, a bunch of new indy splinter studios spring up to use their development experience minus the corpo cash grabbery.
