      It would make sense to sell every IP they can’t include Ronaldo in 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](https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2025/032701204973/)_. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via [PIF](https://inside.fifa.com/tournament-organisation/commercial/media-releases/pif-fifa-forge-partnership-club-world-cup-2025) to make this happen.

              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.

                Sims surely will either be cut or completely overhauled. It's way too queer for them.

                          They really desecrated Dungeon Keeper. IIRC it was so filled up with mobile game, microtransaction garbage you couldn't even dig blocks of dirt more than once a day without buying "gems".

                                Racist against Babylonians tbh, Ea Nasir would never treat customers like EA does.

                                      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

                                          Right? Capitalism gotta capitalize on all that capital, sitting around in our bank accounts, when it could be sitting around in THEIR bank accounts!
