United Videogame Workers-CWA Statement on Proposed Electronic Arts Buyout October 15, 2025 NATIONWIDE — The following statement is from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433. The recently proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and private equity firms, including Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of players and workers. EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers whose creativity, skill, and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place. Yet we, the very people who will be jeopardized as a result of this deal, were not represented at all when this buyout was negotiated or discussed. We are particularly worried about the future of our studios that are arbitrarily deemed ‘less profitable’ but whose contributions to the video game industry define EA’s reputation. Since 2022, an estimated 40,000 video game workers have already lost their jobs due to mass layoffs at AAA and indie studios alike. As reported in Game Developer, this deal will result in EA having to finance nearly $20 billion in debt—who will be spared, which corners will executives cut, and what studios will be sacrificed in order for that to happen? If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company. Every time private equity or billionaire investors take a studio private, workers lose visibility, transparency, and power. Decisions that shape our jobs, our art, and our futures are made behind closed doors by executives who have never written a line of code, built worlds, or supported live services. We are…

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry.

Make EA Better for Workers and Gamers - Not Billionaires A group of investors - including the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners - wants to buy Electronic Arts, concentrating even more power and wealth into the hands...

Sign our petition urging the US FTC to watch this deal closely. If left unchecked, this deal spells disaster for EA's workers and players alike, but there's still time to do something about it!

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

I'll be one of the speakers for our union workshop at #QGCon tomorrow!!! :]

I genuinely adore freelancing. I love getting to do my own thing and work with so many incredible teams. But I gotta admit not being able to take long weekends because we don’t get paid federal holidays is the PITS 😭

hey game devs, what kind of error do we think this is? 🤔

Contrapoints comments on leftists picking up another “lost cause” in the case of Palestine is so disgusting that I’m starting to understand why she spotlights so many hours on the concept of leftist infighting…it’s all just aesthetic tone policing at the end of the day. Delete ur channel please

We’re Done Playing Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

Mass layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Cancelled development cycles sweeping years of hard work under the rug.

We have seen time and again how little the worker matters to corporate leadership.

Redeaw of the popular Chaos Control panel from Dc x Sonic the hedgehog crossover comic, where Shadow, using a chaos emerald goes against darkseid. He is crossing his arms before him with one hand showing the palm and the other holding the emerald. In my version, instead of using his popular quote, they words say Respect Trans Lives Or Fucking Die

Tch, respect trans people or perish!! #shadowthehedgehog
