"The deal, which was announced last year, means that EA is now a private company, no longer dictated by the interests of its shareholders, but instead by the three aforementioned investment groups."

How is this not the same? Maybe even shareholders are better, because their interests can be spread out. Ah, it's all bad.

I wonder how long it will take for a video game journalist to be brutally dismembered for writing a negative review of an EA game?
