Before anyone thinks this could be good news for EA...

The offer comes from a group of investors that includes Silver Lake, one of the world's largest private equity firms, and Saudi Arabia's controversial Public Investment Fund.

WSJ states that it would "likely be the largest leveraged buyout of all time."

A leveraged buyout from a PE firm means they've decided EA needs to die and they're going to pick the carcass clean.

EA dying is good news. At least this way popular IPs can live on under new management or be sold off.

not before the studios are purged, unfortunately
