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 great, so now even IF the Sims 5 comes out, I have a moral obligation not to buy it...
Yo ho, matey
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
08 you say?
Scott the Woz has entered the chat
Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield
Popcap - tons of mobile games
Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)
Codemasters - lots of racing games
Criterion :(
Long time partnered Sims creators have been collectively bailing and denouncing the take over. It's warmed my cold dead heart a bit.
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.
Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just kept on a-diggin til they struck oil didn't they.
Gotta delete the account next.
Oh good, I can continue not buying EA games.
I'd have to check but I think the only EA game I even care one iota about would be Dead Space. But I already got the remake for free on PS5 and I pretty highly doubt they'll remake the other two so.. I'm good
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.
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
Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.

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.
We are all children of ~~jesus~~ petro states.
Yeah the kushner share is a bribe to bypass regulatory oversight, didn't you know?

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

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