A group of US lawmakers from the Congressional Labor Caucus is urging the Federal Trade Commission to take a close look at the $55 billion deal for Electronic Arts, which is being led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Their concerns focus not just on the size of the acquisition, but on how it could affect EA’s workers and the broader gaming industry workforce. This isn’t just about dollars passing hands; there’s a growing worry that big acquisitions like this one might come at the expense of employee conditions and job security. As the FTC considers the deal, these voices remind us that behind the blockbuster numbers are real people whose futures could shift dramatically depending on what happens next.
