      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.

                    My question was specifically about what does the Saudi typically do by acquiring all these companies. I assume you don’t have the best reading comprehension.
