      Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…

        What political statements have the Saudi’s made? I’m curious cause they are also focusing on esports washing, so I wanna know what to expect with upcoming esports worldcup.

                The United States is the previous owner of EA.

                Saudi the new owner.

                Really get off your moral high horse already. Saudi is objectively more moral than the USA and that says more about the USA than Saudi being “good”.

              He really did explain it, but here you go:

              1. The media, in its many forms, provides information.

              2. Jamal Khashoggi works for a part of the media and said something the crown prince didn’t like.

              3. He used thugs and A FUCKING BONESAW to hack up that brave man.

              4. There is no four, that’s it. It’s the same message Israel is sending journalist: “The state message is the only message, say something different and we’ll fucking kill you first chance we get.”

              5. They are doing this with ICE and police in America more and more, so soon it won’t matter which totalitarian country owns which sycophantic company.

    What values? Does anyone really think any of these mothers fuckers who sold it care or even have any values, the only value is how much money they are making out of it, if North Korea had a better offer they would have gladly accepted…grow the fuck up …trash selling to trash

    Honestly I doubt the PIF is going to micro manage EA to the point that employees feel it on the day to day. Usually they just sit in the board and contribute in high level management decisions like mergers, acquisitions and mass layoffs. Doesn’t mean there’s no changes, but it’s not a “Saudi company” now either.

      Do you also talk about Judaism under every tech post considering most of the big tech is in Tel Aviv now?

          So are you also comfortable making anti-semitic jokes? Or just islamophobic jokes? Interesting…

          Ideally neither would be acceptable. We would blame the actual people and ideologies (zionism, monarchism, imperialism, etc) responsible.
