Oh good, I can continue not buying EA games.
No, but I may pirate a few now. Just to seed them as a tiny middle finger to the saudis.
I’d have to check but I think the only EA game I even care one iota about would be Dead Space. But I already got the remake for free on PS5 and I pretty highly doubt they’ll remake the other two so… I’m good
If you still buy EA games at this point you better not tell anyone because you’re a braindead fuckwit for sending Saudis your money
I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
Some people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games

Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.
Yeah the kushner share is a bribe to bypass regulatory oversight, didn’t you know?
EA games suck nowadays anyway; this was just a buyout for shareholders and founders.
Remind me: when was this not the case? I never in my life heard anyone ever say ‘oh great, it’s an EA game’
dead space, mirrors edge, original skate
Just listed some of my favorites right there. ME was way ahead of it’s time. Banger game.
Does “It takes two” count as an EA game?
Back in the late 80s they were pretty legit.
Effectively all it? That’s 93.4%, that’s more than 90%, and almost 95%, which is almost 100%, which would be all of it!
This guy maths.
But they’re not equal, hence the phrasing
They are saying it’s redundant, and therefore unnecessary.
Yeah but it isn’t really redundant (even if it could have been worded better). Someone might believe that the other shareholders have some say in how the company operates when they won’t.
So, as far as control over the company is concerned, the Saudis have 100% control even though they don’t have 100% of the shares.
If you haven’t noticed there’s a lot of people out there are incredibly dumb, and don’t understand basic math, let alone how a company like EA works.
I can guarantee you that there are more dipshits out there than you’d think who would look at that number and say “well it’s less than 100 percent, so they don’t have total control, so what’s the big deal?”
Now as for whether any amount of clarification is enough to convince those idiots that that’s not how things work, that’s a fair question.
Didn’t need additional reasons to never buy EA garbage, but yeah sure ok.
The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.
Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just kept on a-diggin til they struck oil didn’t they.
The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.
Makes me wonder what the next Sims game will be like
Like will women characters be able to leave the house unescorted?
Your sims will have to pause five times per day to pray.
Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield
Popcap - tons of mobile games
Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)
Codemasters - lots of racing games
Long time partnered Sims creators have been collectively bailing and denouncing the take over. It’s warmed my cold dead heart a bit.
Criterion :(
We are all children of
jesuspetro states.I deleted my account, intentionally losing access to all my games. Fuck EA. I will not be associated with murders.
SA - fuck up everything.
sounds like a perfect match for EA
Would love to see how do they fuck up the fuck up.
It’s the Saudis. Expect heavy sanitation.
Not a loss for me. I liked them when they were still good, on C64 and Amiga. But now? Good riddance. May the sheiks have fun with it.
i’m less worried about me not buying their games and more worried about the folks who buy madden every year even though the last interesting release was 08
08 you say?
