EA is reportedly nearing a deal to go private that could be revealed as soon as next week.

The deal would, in the most basic terms, see the company taken off the stock market with its shares going to private investors, and with a potential value of $50 billion, would seemingly be the biggest deal of its kind ever recorded.
