Saudi Arabia’s EA Takeover Reportedly Set To Clear EU Hurdle
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is reportedly set to receive approval from the European Union for its $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts by the end of July. Despite initial concerns and gamer protests, the deal is expected to pass EU regulatory review under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. This acquisition would be the second-largest in gaming history, following Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard.
