    It’s a bit weird to me how hyperfocused gamers are on Saudi Arabia. No, they do not own EA, it’s a joint venture between two other US investment firms;

    Silver Lake Partners: A private equity firm focused on technology and media investments. Silver Lake is also part of the new Oracle-led joint venture set to take on management of TikTok’s U.S. operations.

    Affinity Partners: Led by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, the firm is a participant in the buyout.

    Why not focus on weirdly rich Trump’s son-in-law? Knowing it’s family, the thought of Trump family owning EA sounds worse than Saudi Arabia fund.

      They’re all such nice people it’s hard to know who to boycott them over the most.
