The move would bring EA, owner of franchises including EA Sports FC, Battlefield and The Sims, together with Savvy’s mobile gaming and esports businesses. PIF recently took control of EA through its $55 billion acquisition alongside Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. A combination with Savvy would therefore consolidate a large portion of Saudi Arabia’s global gaming investments under a single group.

Founder of Stack Chronicle and a journalist with experience across several local and national radio stations (including RTL2, Hit West, Euradio and Figaro Radio in France, and WDET in Detroit, Michigan), I began taking a deeper interest in technology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly realised, that few media outlets were building meaningful connections between technology, AI, finance, politics and environmental issues. That observation led to the creation of Stack Chronicle: a publication designed to help both curious readers and more informed audiences understand the technological transformations shaping our world.
