EA employees brace for the worst under Saudi ownership: 'Hard to feel good about being bought out by a regime that's very much at odds with progressive society'

  I like the implication that EA’s old ownership wasn’t at odds with progressive society

    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.

  Ah yes. Much better to stay owned in America, where progressive society is… looks around hang on.

    …shoukd really get new houses since the solar radiation will quickly give you cancer, it robs you of your privacy, and it is very fragile and expensive to replace?

    Doesn’t really roll off the tongue well, though…

      I believe glass stops the harmful radiation? You can’t get a sunburn through glass. Truckers would all be pretty cancerous.

    Do you also talk about Judaism under every tech post considering most of the big tech is in Tel Aviv now?

  Honestly I doubt the PIF is going to micro manage EA to the point that employees feel it on the day to day. Usually they just sit in the board and contribute in high level management decisions like mergers, acquisitions and mass layoffs. Doesn’t mean there’s no changes, but it’s not a “Saudi company” now either.
