EA's Saudi Arabian owners are reportedly considering forming an ubermegacorp by merging them with Savvy Games No decision's been made as of yet, report claims Just over a month on from a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian government's Public Investment Fund taking over EA, in a buyout worth $55 billion, said new owners are reportedly considering merging the publishers with their existing gaming firm Savvy Games Group. The result would be an ubermegacorp to serve as a vehicle for all of the Saudi wealth fund's future video game-related biz. The report notes that no decision has been made either way yet, with the fact that Savvy are currently in the process of buying Chinese mobile game developers and publishers Moonton for $6 billion meaning any EA/Savvy merger's not likely to happen right away.
