EA said that under its planned new ownership structure, the company will "maintain creative control" and "its consistent values ​​of creative freedom and player-first values."The pledge comes in the company's latest employee question-and-answer guide, which addresses the "culture change" the deal could trigger.

EA's statement on creative autonomy is an extension of content in a question-and-answer document it updated last week and submitted to the SEC, first spotted by Game File.This statement is also in line with CEO Andrew Wilson's previous commitment-when he announced the US$55 billion privatization agreement in September, he emphasized: "Our values ​​and commitment to players and fans around the world remain unchanged."

The Q&A document also added a new description of the new owner: "Investors recognize our vision, leadership and team strength. They invested in EA because they believe we have the unique advantages to lead the future entertainment industry."

According to reports, some EA employees have expressed concerns about whether the company will reduce inclusion and other elements in future games.At the same time, some content creators have announced their withdrawal from the EA Creators Alliance in protest.Analysts also pointed out that BioWare's series of works that support the LGBTQ community ("Mass Effect" and "Dragon Age") may become a potential burden for the new owner, and even predicted that the studio and its IP will become the "primary divestment target."

The EA private acquisition is expected to be completed in 2026.
