Today, as part of an updated FAQ aimed at workers (spotted by Game File), EA said that its impending $55 billion sale to a consortium that includes Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund will not come at the cost of creative control. If you take EA at its word, I have a bridge to sell you.
Do I want EA to keep making garbage and dark patterns in game? No. Do I want them chopped up in box or one the other attrocities attributed to their new owner? Also, more emphatically no.
Im indigenous and I am going to debate that statement.
The Us has been around far longer than Saudi Arabia and have been the masters of genocide, racism, sexism for a long time
Im indigenous, to me America will always be #1 terrorist and genocide state. Even if you guys like to toss the title at someone else and pretend you’re the victims.
They both suck yes, you guys are worse by far though

What creative control?
It takes a lot of work to redesign the sportsball logo and pricing chart every year.
Most of EA’s creativity is spent trying to find new definitions to gambling so they can keep make gambling games without being regulated.
Hmmmm tough one this one, do we want EA to maintain creative control?
AKA ‘executive meddling’.
Can we get a third option?
Given that the alternative is censoring the shit out of Sims 4?
EA saying that line for years about stuff they buy and ran into the ground makes this pretty amusing.

Every single merge that has ever announced this, turned out to be wrong
What’s the difference aside from racism? filthy rich and immoral white billionaires own EA vs filthy rich and immoral brown billionaires own EA?
All these companies are shit
I still think they’re gonna patch out LGBT content from Sims 4
That will only be a start. Looking forward to Super 3D prophet Mohammed Ark.
We’ll see if the next FIFA still has women’s teams /s
Unlike the U.S which has no sexism or racism.
America is world trash #1
There’s trash and then there’s even trashier trash. The Saudi government is definitely trashier than the American one.
Yeah the same ones that voted against water being a human right.

Whataboutism, eh?
They can both suck, it doesn’t have to be equal.

I’m not American. Fuck that cesspit.
I googled out of pure curiosity and found that the Saudis have a women’s football team.
Maybe Qatar doesn’t?
