The sale of gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA) for $55bn (£41bn) to a group of buyers including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been finalised. The American company is known for making and publishing best-selling games such as EA FC, formerly known as Fifa, The Sims and Mass Effect. The investors, who include Affinity Partners - led by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner - are taking EA private, meaning all of its public shares will be purchased and it will no longer be traded on a stock exchange. How paying back this debt will affect EA as a business has been the source of much speculation from journalists and analysts. Christopher Dring, editor-in-chief and co-founder of the Game Business, said the nature of the buyout, external was also likely to mean "a very hands-on approach from the investment group".
