I like the implication that EA's old ownership wasn't at odds with progressive society

    Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…

    What political statements have the Saudi's made? I'm curious cause they are also focusing on esports washing, so I wanna know what to expect with upcoming esports worldcup.

    You could have said the US backed genocide in Yemen but you do not know about that.

    He really did explain it, but here you go:

    1. The media, in its many forms, provides information.

    2. Jamal Khashoggi works for a part of the media and said something the crown prince didn’t like.

    3. He used thugs and A FUCKING BONESAW to hack up that brave man.

    4. There is no four, that’s it. It’s the same message Israel is sending journalist: “The state message is the only message, say something different and we’ll fucking kill you first chance we get.”

    5. They are doing this with ICE and police in America more and more, so soon it won’t matter which totalitarian country owns which sycophantic company.

    My question was specifically about what does the Saudi typically do by acquiring all these companies. I assume you don't have the best reading comprehension.

    I asked a question in good faith and the reply I got was a gotcha one liner. Maybe I should've framed my question better but even after I did in your reply, you still acting with some weird attitude. Don't assume everyone is miserable just because you are. And don't assume your answer is relevant everywhere just because that's the only thing you know about the subject. I'm ending this conversation here. Also try talking to more people irl, you sound like the typical redditor.

    Ah yes. Much better to stay owned in America, where progressive society is… looks around hang on.

    ...should really get new houses since the solar radiation will quickly give you cancer, it robs you of your privacy, and it is very fragile and expensive to replace?

    Doesn't really roll off the tongue well, though..

    I believe glass stops the harmful radiation? You can’t get a sunburn through glass. Truckers would all be pretty cancerous.

    What values? Does anyone really think any of these mothers fuckers who sold it care or even have any values, the only value is how much money they are making out of it, if North Korea had a better offer they would have gladly accepted...grow the fuck up ...trash selling to trash

    EA about to axe 90% of staff to roll out AI generated games about fucking goats and pooping on IG models.

    EA was always a shit place to work. It's been shit for at least 15 years.

    Legit... But is it real so much worse than working for the genocidal USA?

    There's a reason these two shitholes are such close buddies.

    Who the hell even plays EA games anymore? Yall still beating the same FIFA shit to death every year?

    Why should EA care what the Saudis want? Just market to another country.

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 2 months ago

    Honestly I doubt the PIF is going to micro manage EA to the point that employees feel it on the day to day. Usually they just sit in the board and contribute in high level management decisions like mergers, acquisitions and mass layoffs. Doesn't mean there's no changes, but it's not a "Saudi company" now either.

    Not like EA were the pinnacle of goodness or altruism though, is it?

    Fuck 'em. They get what they deserve.

    Let's hope they have "a sense of pride and accomplishment" for what's happened.

    I mean EA as a company, sure.

    EA executives that have it's the bullshit price and accomplishment, absolutely, may the get the slice of karma they all deserve.

    EA employees who had no say in most of the pride and accomplishment, not as much.

    Do you also talk about Judaism under every tech post considering most of the big tech is in Tel Aviv now?

    So are you also comfortable making anti-semitic jokes? Or just islamophobic jokes? Interesting...

    Ideally neither would be acceptable. We would blame the actual people and ideologies (zionism, monarchism, imperialism, etc) responsible.

    You seem to be unable to understand what I'm saying.

    Islam is not progressive. You should not hate Jews.

    Hope that clears things up for you, I don't use /s unless I feel like I really need to.
