One of the most historic studios is closing down. Unfortunately it was dead long ago. Fuck EA

Fun fact: same-sex sexual activity, both male and female, is not only illegal in Saudi Arabia, it is a capital offense punishable by death.

Fun fact: Bioware's parent company, Electronic Arts, is now owned by Saudis.

    I am still kind of interested how long the sims will still exist in its current form under the new leadership

    They just won't make The Sims.

    The Saudis won't touch it or anything like it. They have the death penalty for adultery, The Sims is unacceptable (at least, the sims that we know).

    They might have a Sharia Law version where the fully-covered women juggle raising children and making meals to please their husband.

    They will make games for their market (and China).

    Sims is a US-market-game that is against Islamic law.

    Instead, they can make FIFA and other sports games and shooters. I doubt they'll even make RPGs as we know them, Baldur's Gate 3 for example would not be made in a Saudi studio.
