When Corsair announced it was acquiring Trak Racer’s assets as part of a $50 million buyout, you would be forgiven for thinking it was the biggest gaming purchase of the week. Now, multiply that figure by 1000.

Nope, you still haven’t reached the figures involved in another buyout this week.

We already knew EA was being taken over by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake and Affinity Partners, but the $55 billion deal is finally done.

Join new double-barrel buddies Tom Harrison-Lord and John Danvers-Munro as they discuss these two seismic takeovers, and ponder both Hyundai’s virtual “e-shifts”, and an indie driving game that could well be the surprise success of the year.
