Electronic Arts $52.5 Billion Buyout Explained | The Adulting Ratio Report

Описание: Electronic Arts (EA), the video game giant behind Madden NFL, Battlefield, and The Sims, is being acquired in a record-setting $52.5 billion deal, the largest private equity-funded buyout in history.

The investor group includes Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake Partners, and an investment firm managed by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.

This isn’t just finance, it’s about how billions are built on our time. Games are engineered to maximize play hours, and that consumption is what makes EA so valuable.

In this episode of The Ratio Report, we cover:
✅ The history of EA, from the 1980s to global dominance
✅ How gaming became a $185B+ industry, bigger than film and music
✅ Why young adults spend 7–12 hours per week gaming
✅ How live-service models and microtransactions keep you consuming
✅ What this $55B buyout says about contribution, consumption, and balance on The Adulting Ratio

👉 If you’re ready to stop just adulting and start building balance with purpose, subscribe and join the journey.
