Ummmmm, nobody gives a shit if EA keeps creative freedom. Nobody likes EA. EA aquires creative studios, takes their IPs, steps on the throats of creative giants who made name value for something, and then laughs as they add borderline mandatory paid DLC, and laughs as they destroy properties.
If this new owner does literally nothing besides buy smaller studios, and leave them alone to do what they want, it’s an improvement.
Considering the new owners are famed journalist murderer and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman and Presidential nepo-in-law Jared Kushner, I’m doubtful that respect for the creative process is high on the list of priorities. And yeah, EA already sucks but I imagine they’ll find lots of innovative ways to drive EA to new heights of terribleness.

Oh god…I had no idea THATS who was buying them!
Welp. On this day, we lost EA as we once knew it. And nothing of value was lost.
