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

Plausible except the part about good, affordable games

Right? Capitalism gotta capitalize on all that capital, sitting around in our bank accounts, when it could be sitting around in THEIR bank accounts!

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.
