Makes me wonder what the next Sims game will be like
Like will women characters be able to leave the house unescorted?
Your sims will have to pause five times per day to pray.
What we have is literally the censored version by default, they just woohoo?
Oh good, I can continue not buying EA games.
No, but I may pirate a few now. Just to seed them as a tiny middle finger to the saudis.

And the rest is Jared Kushner. Enjoy that shit sandwich.
EA was already shit, but somehow they found bread made from shit and built a whole sandwich.
Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just kept on a-diggin til they struck oil didn't they.
Oh great, so now even IF the Sims 5 comes out, I have a moral obligation not to buy it...
Yo ho, matey
The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.
If you still buy EA games at this point you better not tell anyone because you’re a braindead fuckwit for sending Saudis your money
I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
Some people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games

As much as I hate the ruling family of Saudi Arabia… get off it:
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/how-much-crude-oil-does-us-import-by-country-2025-01-31/
Your information is dated. We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico
But for what it’s worth - fully believe renewables are the way forward for geopolitical and ecological stability. This is the more important narrative
We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico
Damn, I didn't know the Netherlands exported any crude oil!
Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.
Touché 😅

Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield
Popcap - tons of mobile games
Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)
Codemasters - lots of racing games
Long time partnered Sims creators have been collectively bailing and denouncing the take over. It's warmed my cold dead heart a bit.
Criterion :(
Not a loss for me. I liked them when they were still good, on C64 and Amiga. But now? Good riddance. May the sheiks have fun with it.
i'm less worried about me not buying their games and more worried about the folks who buy madden every year even though the last interesting release was 08
EA games suck nowadays anyway; this was just a buyout for shareholders and founders.

Didn’t need additional reasons to never buy EA garbage, but yeah sure ok.
Yeah the kushner share is a bribe to bypass regulatory oversight, didn't you know?
Do they need Kushner for that? They done a pretty good job funneling money to Him over the last 8 years.
As long as the money keeps coming there won't be any problems.
That's always how it's been!
Effectively all it? That's 93.4%, that's more than 90%, and almost 95%, which is almost 100%, which would be all of it!
This guy maths.

The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.
We are all children of ~~jesus~~ petro states.
Gotta delete the account next.
SA - fuck up everything.
Would love to see how do they fuck up the fuck up.
It's the Saudis. Expect heavy sanitation.
sounds like a perfect match for EA
I deleted my account, intentionally losing access to all my games. Fuck EA. I will not be associated with murders.
