Holy shit you aren't kidding!

I'm looking at the releases and honestly none of those games are Day 1 must buy for me.

I think the Saudis bought it for the sports games. And those games are pretty cookie cutter and they sell well thanks to the chuds.

    Everything is just a remake of something good from 20 years ago, an expansion pack for The Sims, or a sports game. Although in slight fantas to them Star wars squadrons actually was good. I think the leadership forgot about that that one because it never even had micro transactions or loot boxes or anything.

    If you like strategic fps, Battlefield has always been the best game in my eyes. I bought it right before news of the purchase came out... Let's just say I wasn't impressed. Fuck the saudis, but Kushner is the real ghoul.

    Also skate doesn't exactly have any competitors. I have always loved skate, and would consider the new one quite enjoyable (if its code wasn't 50% computer-crashing kernel level nonsense).
