#️⃣ 🇸🇦 EA is facing a severe crisis: Analyst Joost van Dreunen claims that following the deal, Electronic Arts has been saddled with $18 billion in debt, with annual debt servicing costs of approximately $1.8 billion, while the company's annual profit is around $1.5 billion. According to him, the closure of BioWare, the cancellation of the new Mass Effect game, and a new The Sims project could be just the beginning — with more layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations ahead. The new owners reportedly intend to focus on sports games, live-service projects, and the Asian market, while established franchises such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space, and Titanfall may only return if they are sold to other studios.
