    ‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’

    Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

      …the…partners you literally just joined with for this one specific deal? That’s called a client, not a partner, and it happens all the time.

    It’s fucking important for any gamer with a shred of concious humanity to boycott this game and make it fail.

    The money this game was funded by comes directly and only from blooded oppression of a dictatorship. From forced unpresented taxes and bloody oil money of terrorisim. They beheaded and killed all their human-right activist citizens and protestors who tried to ask for their share that went to this game.

      Is everything critical of Saudi Arabia Hasbara propaganda?

      I hate Saudi Arabia’s leadership and brutal oppression of their people. Obviously, Kashoggi. Obviously, funding terrorism worldwide. Personally, a friend of mine witnessed a state beheading simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time while he was working in SA (he was an Indian immigrant worker) - scarred him for life.

      Hasbara are in the walls so I presume they saw me type that out and I’ll just patiently await my cheque.

      Why? Israel and Saudi Arabia get along pretty well. They are natural allies against Iran. The current war in Gaza is all that stands between Saudi Arabia entering the Abraham accords.

    Fun fact. Every time some company is about to go bankrupt, somehow Saudi money gets injected. Why? I don’t know.

    Ubisoft must be struggling a lot.

      Saudi Arabia has had a lot of success in improving their international reputation through ‘sportswashing’.

      This just comes as a natural extension of this, seeing to but their way into the good graces of gamers.

        Yeah well they’re always gonna be fascist slave owners who murder nonconformists until they stop that shit. That’s the only way they can improve their reputation. Everything else is just painting the turd.
