      “Never support EA again” implies they were still supporting EA after the last 20 “never support EA again” red lines were crossed.

    not that I’ve played an EA game in years (not a gamer) but damnit, are they gonna shove Saudi ass kissing into Video games now? I stopped following boxing because Saudi money has taken over the majority of the big fights, and every event is full of Saudi ass kissing, including constantly calling the head Saudi guy, “His Excellency” ugh…

      80% chance the next Battlefield has you fighting as or alongside the Saudis against Yemen.

      They’ve already been leaning in that direction with SNK being partly owned by Saudis, I think. And I’ve been creeped out by Rashid from Street Fighter since his announcement. Having someone from a Gulf state is cool and good (he’s from UAE), but having it be a plucky, high-tech princeling being waited on by a butler seriously gives the impression of wanting to pander to the younger royals who are spearheading the esports initiatives, with Capcom competing with SNK for their attention.

    Dang, that another large company bought by the Saudis. International capital really is coming in to pick at the scraps of the U.S.
