An updated version of an FAQ shared with EA employees addresses concerns that the company will be over-encumbered with the $20 billion debt it stands to absorb following the closure of its pending leveraged buyout, as well as fears that EA games could face creative restrictions or censorship under new owners – notably including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
On September 29, an initial draft of this FAQ assured EA employees worried about layoffs that there would be "no immediate changes" to jobs, among other things. An updated version of the FAQ, dated October 30 and posted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, expands and adds several questions and points.
