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.
What we have is literally the censored version by default, they just woohoo?
Oh good, I can continue not buying EA games.
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
Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just kept on a-diggin til they struck oil didn’t they.
And the rest is Jared Kushner. Enjoy that shit sandwich.
EA was already shit, but somehow they found bread made from shit and built a whole sandwich.
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.
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 :(
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
Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.
that’s an improvement over sending the usians our money.
barely but still.
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.
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.
93 was my jam.
But yeah, I’d play that.
Back in the late 80s they were pretty legit.
Probably games around year 2000. Not so much recycling back then.
Yep, their early days were bad ass… pretty much like any company that starts out before they become corporate cock suckers
Does “It takes two” count as an EA game?
Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone for PC was pretty good.
Didn’t need additional reasons to never buy EA garbage, but yeah sure ok.
Yeah the kushner share is a bribe to bypass regulatory oversight, didn’t you know?
Do they need Kushner for that? They done a pretty good job funneling money to Him over the last 8 years.
As long as the money keeps coming there won’t be any problems.
That’s always how it’s been!
The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.
We are all children of
jesuspetro states.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.
SA - fuck up everything.
Would love to see how do they fuck up the fuck up.
It’s the Saudis. Expect heavy sanitation.
sounds like a perfect match for EA
