Hasn't PIF bought out EA in a deal worth around $55billion? That was the news last September - presumably the deal is going through. PIF never like to be associated with anything sub-standard, as that reflects badly on them at home in Saudi Arabia. So I expect them to either ditch any developers who don't meet their standards and bring in those who do. That will mean a better game. And with competition coming later this year, that should be a second kick up the backside for a franchise that has gotten wayyyyy beyond complacent when it comes to the gameplay, customers, communication, etc, etc.
