![Of course, EA doesn’t have public stockholders anymore after a $55 billion deal led by Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners took the company private last year. At the time of that move, analysts told Ars to expect “layoffs, studio closures, and [selling] of IP” as the newly private and now heavily debt-ridden company put “a bigger focus on live services, more focus on annual sports franchises, [and] microtransactions” to help increase profits.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oghrcc3gvxjtnqi4ajtk6jps/bafkreigzhgsymd2bs5cd6ddekq756n5jam3rmwkuoknpp6ptbcrxk2r3hq)

Where Citations Come From:
Citogenesis Step #1
Through a convoluted process, a user's brain generates facts. These are typed into Wikipedia.
[Hairy sits at a desk, typing on a laptop.]
Hairy: (typing) The "scroll lock" key was was designed by future Energy Secretary Steven Chu in a college project.
Step #2
A rushed writer checks Wikipedia for a summary of their subject.
[Ponytail sits at a desk, typing on a desktop.]
Ponytail: (typing) US Energy Secretary Steven Chu, (Nobel Prizewinner and creator of the ubiquitous "scroll lock" key) testified before Congress today...
Step #3
Surprised readers check Wikipedia, see the claim, and flag it for review. A passing editor finds the piece and adds it as a citation.
[Cueball sits on a couch with a laptop in his lap, typing.]
Cueball: Google is your friend, people. (typing) <ref>{{cite web|url=
Step #4
Now that other writers have a real source, they repeat the fact.
[A flow chart, with "Wikipedia citation" in the center. The word "Wikipedia" is in black, the word "citations" is white with a red background.
[A black arrow leads from "brain" to "Wikipedia."]
[A black arrow labeled "words" leads from "Wikipedia" to "careless writers," and a red arrow labeled "citations" leads back to "Wikipedia citations."]
[A black & red arrow leads from "Wikipedia" to "cited facts" which leads to "slightly more careful writers," which leads to "more citations," which leads back to :"Wikipedia" (all black & red arrows).]
References proliferate, completing the citogenesis process.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oghrcc3gvxjtnqi4ajtk6jps/bafkreifton3x5kuss4mq3t737mkrromwko6xoenv7p6iqkqyxiwioiqrzq)
