Wouldn't it be funny if the reason they bought EA was because there's some die-hard Saudi zoomer who loves games, has a butt load of money, and wants to make great games. Maybe they do a 180° on some of their best IPs and lower the price to make gaming more accessible to more people. It's what I would have done if I had more money than I knew what to do with! A girl can dream. <3 <3

    That Saudi Zoomer Milennial is actually MbS. He got rid of the wahhabists so he can nerd out more.

    Yeah some of the mega projects he's tried to build are straight out of Star Wars. Some look like Luke Skywalker's home and the concept art for The Line looked like Coruscant.

    If he wasn't a scumbag murderer he'd be almost likable.
