      Because if they’re shuttered, the company/people that make the company have the opportunity to go somewhere else and do something better. I’ve disliked everything they’ve produced since they were purchased by EA, so I’ve come to think the publisher holds them back.

      Maybe they get shuttered or are given more creative freedom thanks to the Saudi’s ignorance of RPGs and their perception among executives in the business.

      I guarantee you, Saudis really only care about FIFA. Everything else is superfluous.

        Yeah, nothing like an ultra conservative theocratic dictatorship to really expand those creative freedoms…

          My point is they will be so unfamiliar with RPGs that they essentially let the studio do whatever they want.

            Do you think they don’t have video games over there? What a bizarre thing to say. They’re able to effectively censor all kinds of other media, why do you think RPGs are special?

              I think the people in charge have never heard of Dragon Age.

              I’m also not saying it’s guaranteed, just a possibility.
