New EA ownership, and the possibility of an Alice IP sale

With EA having new ownership under the Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity partners alongside company ending its run of being a publicly traded stock in favor of a privatized business model, I’d be curious of what this might mean for the smaller IP’s within the EA lineup like Alice and whether this ownership could create avenues for its sale.

I’d imagine this acquisition is almost solely about the sports game divisions and maybe to some degree the SIMS.

I have my hopes that Alice might go up for sale as a way to consolidate titles and maybe Alice Asylum could see the light of day. The Anri Gvera fan made version of the game had gotten legal pushback and development stalled but I’m wondering if this could create an avenue for it to resume

maybe we need to come together as a community and try to buy the IP out, we only need about 50 million dollars, it should be easy! Lol.

Although, If we could get American McGee on board it might not be as far fetched as it sounds with how big Plushie Dreadful is now… but of course this is contingent on if it’s for sale in the first place or if McGee would have any interest divesting back into the IP even if it were just to ensure its development goes to the right hands…

Just brain storming, what’s everyone thinking?

American Mcgee's Alice Issue

So my friend wanted to play the original, he installed it and all that. It works completely fine aside from the fact that on his end his audio is doubled (like two simultaneous audio tracks on top of one another at the same time). However, when he streams it to me via screen share on Discord, it sounds completely normal. He only has his headset he uses (Corsair Void 2) so can't test any other sound method. We have tried soooo many routes to try to get it to play audio normally, we have tried changing sound drivers in game, to changing them on his headset, to messing with settings on his headset, we even tried installing the 2011 remaster of AMA. All resulted in nothing and continues to play double audio. Does anyone know what to do? Any suggestions? Or is my buddy just kinda cooked and won't be able to play normally? (He doesn't have iCUE installed for his headset either and he has spatial audio off, so we are both baffled).
