Just when you think EA can't get any shittier, they find another way to lower the bar.

    Going private could have been a net positive. But, not from venture capitalists, and certainly not from the Saudis.

    Also, taking on this much debt as part of the buyout is just asking to be gutted and carved out, complete with record-breaking layoffs.

    Titanfall is cooked. They’re 100% killing the servers. I guess we’ll have to go back to the northstar client.
