    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?

        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.

          They announced a new one a few years ago, but I haven't heard anything about it since.

            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".

                    EA will stand for Evil Assholes after the buyout.

                        It's basically in Arabia if not specifically saud, who's an illegitimate conqueror. That gives you a surprising steam pipe Valve reference but that means they wouldn't do that.

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

                              Yeah some of the mega projects he's tried to build are straight out of Star Wars. Some look like Luke Skywalker's home and the concept art for The Line looked like Coruscant. If he wasn't a scumbag murderer he'd be almost likable.

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

                                  Isn't it just like free/cheap revenue now that they have no plans to make future Sims games anyway?
