Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The Players Alliance plans a raid protest at EA’s main office in Redwood City on May 11. They will bring people dressed as game characters, a 50-foot petition signed by more than 70,000 people, and fake loot boxes. This is to show their concerns about EA’s $55 billion buyout deal. It would make EA a private company owned by a group that includes Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. Protesters and video game unions fear the buyout will cause job losses, close game studios, increase AI use, and push players to spend more money.
