Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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.

Objection: Relevance to the topic at hand?

The United States is the previous owner of EA.

Saudi the new owner.

Really get off your moral high horse already. Saudi is objectively more moral than the USA and that says more about the USA than Saudi being "good".

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That does not answer my question whatsoever.

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

I don't think you understood my message either. You can scroll up and read it again :)

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’m guessing you spend a lot of time confused then.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You’re giving 10 year-old who just got their first social media account.

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.
