Regulatory filings reveal that Silver Lake—a partner of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund—has secured a 5.5% ownership stake in Electronic Arts. The investment marks another major move by the private equity giant into gaming assets, a sector increasingly intersecting with digital ownership and blockchain infrastructure. EA's massive player base and IP portfolio could become strategic as Web3 gaming models evolve.

ngl, Silver Lake invested in EA, is Web3 gaming really going to To da moon now? But are all those pay-to-win skins from EA going to become NFTs? I can't handle that.

ngl, Silver Lake's entry into EA feels like it's paving the way for web3... If those EA IPs really go on-chain, the gaming community will go crazy.
