For years, video game publishers have been racking up profits by squeezing workers and players.

Now a group of investors - including the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners - wants to buy Electronic Arts, concentrating even more power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of workers and players.

EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion annually and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers like us whose creativity, skill and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place.

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors pockets — not to strengthen the company.

We are calling on regulators and elected officials to scrutinize this deal and ensure that any path forward protects jobs, and preserves creative freedom.

Sign the petition to join us in our fight to make video games better for workers and players - not billionaires.
