    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

    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.

    EA games suck nowadays anyway; this was just a buyout for shareholders and founders.

    The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.

    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.

    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!

    But they're not equal, hence the phrasing

    Yeah but it isn’t really redundant (even if it could have been worded better). Someone might believe that the other shareholders have some say in how the company operates when they won’t.

    So, as far as control over the company is concerned, the Saudis have 100% control even though they don’t have 100% of the shares.

    Like will women characters be able to leave the house unescorted?

    Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield

    Popcap - tons of mobile games

    Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)

    Codemasters - lots of racing games

    I deleted my account, intentionally losing access to all my games. Fuck EA. I will not be associated with murders.

    EA (Respawn) peaked at Titanfall 2 and hasn't released anything good since. I set them to Ignore on Steam a few years ago.

    Does EA own any other companies/brands that we should be aware of?

    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 mean it's not like they can make it any worse.

    Oh great, so now even IF the Sims 5 comes out, I have a moral obligation not to buy it...
