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

Murdering journalists is fundamental to this genocidal empire…

…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.

What values? Does anyone really think any of these mothers fuckers who sold it care or even have any values, the only value is how much money they are making out of it, if North Korea had a better offer they would have gladly accepted…grow the fuck up …trash selling to trash

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

EA about to axe 90% of staff to roll out AI generated games about fucking goats and pooping on IG models.

EA was always a shit place to work. It’s been shit for at least 15 years.

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.

Legit… But is it real so much worse working for the genocidal USA?
There’s a reason these two shitholes are such close buddies.

Not like EA were the pinnacle of goodness or altruism though, is it?
Fuck 'em. They get what they deserve.
Let’s hope they have “a sense of pride and accomplishment” for what’s happened.
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I mean EA as a company, sure.
EA executives that have it’s the bullshit price and accomplishment, absolutely, may the get the slice of karma they all deserve.
EA employees who had no say in most of the pride and accomplishment, not as much.

Why should EA care what the Saudis want? Just market to another country.

Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Electronic Arts, the biggest leveraged buyout in private equity history, officially closed earlier this month.
Because the Saudis are EA

I like the implication that EA’s old ownership wasn’t at odds with progressive society
kaitco@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…
Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
