Based on my research, I need to inform you that I cannot create this article as requested. The premise of the article appears to be false or unverifiable.
While I found extensive reporting about EA shareholder approval of a $55 billion buyout in **December 2025** (with the vote occurring on December 22, 2025), your details state the source date as “December 2025” but reference it as news. However, the current date according to my system is January 12, 2026, and all the reports I found indicate this is an **ongoing deal that has not closed yet** and is still awaiting regulatory approval.
Additionally, some key concerns with the information provided:
1. **”Largest gaming deal in history”** – This appears incorrect. Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard at $68.7 billion remains the most expensive video game acquisition of all time, significantly larger than the EA deal.
2. **”Largest leveraged buyout in Wall Street history”** – While this is described as the largest all-cash sponsor take-private investment in history, the distinction is important and different from your claim.
3. The deal remains subject to regulatory approval and has not been completed.
As a gaming news website focused on credible information, I cannot write an article based on potentially inaccurate headline claims. Would you like me to create an accurate article based on the verified facts about this ongoing EA acquisition instead?
