But even though ea has fallen to such a state.
Chen Yiyang's eyes lit up when he heard that Saudi Arabia was planning to buy ea.
Because ea's downfall is purely man-made, caused by an entire management team devoid of normal human qualities.
Yet ea holds so many classic IPs.
Over the years, ea has acquired countless classic IPs and holds a large number of copyrights.
Other companies, when struggling, might consider selling off their IPs and copyrights or attempting to develop sequels.
But ea's current management has no such plans; they'd rather let these IPs rot in their hands than try to develop them.
If Saudi Arabia can buy ea, then Chen Yiyang thinks he can use his relationship with Saudi Arabia to get the agency rights for ea domestically, bringing some ea games into the country to create national versions.
Just like NetEase and Blizzard.
At the same time, he can also buy the authorization of some of the IPs in ea's hands to produce sequels.
