The United Video Games union, supported by the Communications Workers of America, has formally opposed the proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts by a group of private investors including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. They recently submitted a letter to the US Federal Trade Commission, attaching a public petition to highlight concerns over the deal. This move underscores ongoing apprehensions within the industry about the growing involvement of foreign sovereign wealth funds in major game publishers. The union’s intervention adds another layer of scrutiny as regulators weigh the impact of this acquisition on competition and creative independence.
