    It's basically in Arabia if not specifically saud, who's an illegitimate conqueror. That gives you a surprising steam pipe Valve reference but that means they wouldn't do that.

    EA about to be more dead and soulless than it already is.

    I wonder what EA IPs have just died right now?

    mass effect? honestly that's all I can think of off the top of my head. They'll start pumping out more Battlefields, more sports, more money into UFC games and I would bet good money they'll try to buy the license for WWE games from 2k. Saudi's love their WWE.

    Was mass effect not already dead? Last game was andromeda and people didn’t like it and no news on another one.

    The "strike" series? Oh wait that was already dead.

    Command and conq--- no no no already dormant.

    Oh! How about Road Rash---

    Yeah nothing of value is going to be lost

    It would make sense to sell every IP they can piecemeal to get some return on this investment.

    If I had to guess then Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen.

    Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.

    I can only hope that they sell off Mass Effect to a better company, but I wont get my hopes up

    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

    Plausible except the part about good, affordable games

    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.
