Today, as part of an updated FAQ aimed at workers (spotted by Game File), EA said that its impending $55 billion sale to a consortium that includes Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund will not come at the cost of creative control. If you take EA at its word, I have a bridge to sell you.

Hmmmm tough one this one, do we want EA to maintain creative control?

Can we get a third option?

AKA 'executive meddling'.

Given that the alternative is censoring the shit out of Sims 4?

We'll see if the next FIFA still has women's teams /s

I googled out of pure curiosity and found that the Saudis have a women’s football team.
Maybe Qatar doesn’t?

Unlike the U.S which has no sexism or racism.
America is world trash #1

Whataboutism, eh?
They can both suck, it doesn't have to be equal.

Im indigenous, to me America will always be #1 terrorist and genocide state. Even if you guys like to toss the title at someone else and pretend you’re the victims.
They both suck yes, you guys are worse by far though

I'm not American. Fuck that cesspit.

There's trash and then there's even trashier trash. The Saudi government is definitely trashier than the American one.

Yeah the same ones that voted against water being a human right.

Im indigenous and I am going to debate that statement. The Us has been around far longer than Saudi Arabia and have been the masters of genocide, racism, sexism for a long time

Every single merge that has ever announced this, turned out to be wrong
BurgerBaron@piefed.social · 22 pts · 296d
EA saying that line for years about stuff they buy and ran into the ground makes this pretty amusing.

What creative control?

It takes a lot of work to redesign the sportsball logo and pricing chart every year.

Most of EA's creativity is spent trying to find new definitions to gambling so they can keep make gambling games without being regulated.

What’s the difference aside from racism? filthy rich and immoral white billionaires own EA vs filthy rich and immoral brown billionaires own EA?
All these companies are shit

Do I want EA to keep making garbage and dark patterns in game? No. Do I want them chopped up in box or one the other attrocities attributed to their new owner? Also, more emphatically no.

I still think they're gonna patch out LGBT content from Sims 4
reddifuge@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 295d
That will only be a start. Looking forward to Super 3D prophet Mohammed Ark.
