            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!

                              Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.

                                  That Saudi ~~Zoomer~~ Milennial is actually MbS. He got rid of the wahhabists so he can nerd out more.

                                        Yeah. If there's a Saudi that is rich enough to buy EA on a whim, he'd definitely think $1000 for a game is very cheap and don't understand what pricing issue exists.

                                          Wouldn't give up to much hope in either direction, cause of they do sell it only one of the existing bigger houses are going to be the only ones able to afford it. Although could you imagine a Larian mass effect?
