The company assures that no one will be fired and work processes will not change.
Electronic Arts responded to pressing employee questions in a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allay concerns about the company's upcoming sale to a consortium of investors, including the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
In the section on corporate culture, EA emphasizes that the company's mission and values will remain unchanged.
We will retain creative control, and our reputation for creative freedom and putting players first will not be compromised.
The company promises to continue to be guided by the principles of creativity, innovation, passion, determination, learning and teamwork. The consortium, according to EA, fully supports such endeavors and «is ready to invest in our outstanding employees and strong culture».
EA employees (both current and former) have repeatedly expressed concerns that the new owners from conservative Saudi Arabia will not allow activists to promote their personal ideas in the company's games.
