EA, billions of dollars in debt, likely to undergo ‘mass layoffs’ with Saudi Arabia deal finalized

The sale of Electronic Arts to a “consortium” of billionaires and millionaires made some good money for stockholders, but an uncertain future for many may come with it.

The $55 billion sale announced last September and finalized yesterday made around $210 per share for its shareholders, including many employees, but now some of those same employees’ careers could be on the line in the wake of the deal.
