It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Just did the Lace fight in Silksong and OMG it might be the most cinematic combat encounter I have ever played. Hornet's down attack is a huge addition and it works so well with the dash. Combat feels crazy fluid now. It seems they also increased the parry window with how many I got in this fight.
