The Acquisition of EA Is Dangerous

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Garcia

From: A constituent in Long Beach, CA

March 12

You should demand Chairman Ferguson of the FTC to investigate the proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts by the Saudi Public Investment Fund and Silver Lake. I'm concerned that this $20 billion debt-fueled deal will lag to massive layoffs and offshore American jobs in an industry that recently lost 35,000 workers. This level of cross-ownership between sports leagues and gaming creates a monopoly that hurts worker bargaining and suppresses wages.
