inclementimmigrantIt turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it
gustofwindIf you still buy EA games at this point you better not tell anyone because you’re a braindead fuckwit for sending Saudis your money
poVoqSome people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games
People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.
Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.
People do not commonly have a choice here
In America there is near 0 public transit outside of a few major cities
Have you seen North American public transportation?
Yeah, I have a “choice”, but it’s 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.
Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places
Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.
alkI’d have to ride several blocks on a 4 lane stroad to go anywhere outside of my neighborhood. It’s so depressing.
AniviaAlso, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance
My 15 minute car commute would take over an hour with a bicycle, lead me over multiple busy and dangerous country roads, has three mountains with over 20% elevation that I have to pass, and would be incredibly unsafe in the winter even with studded tires.
Don’t get me wrong, I actually do take my bicycle when I’m not in a hurry and the weather is right. But it’s a huge time sink and doesn’t absolve my of my dependency on a car.
The same commute takes 2 hours with public transport btw so that’s even worse
As much as I hate the ruling family of Saudi Arabia… get off it:

Your information is dated. We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico
But for what it’s worth - fully believe renewables are the way forward for geopolitical and ecological stability. This is the more important narrative
Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.
Touché 😅
☂️-Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.
