It’s basically in Arabia if not specifically saud, who’s an illegitimate conqueror. That gives you a surprising steam pipe Valve reference but that means they wouldn’t do that.
mass effect? honestly that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. They’ll start pumping out more Battlefields, more sports, more money into UFC games and I would bet good money they’ll try to buy the license for WWE games from 2k. Saudi’s love their WWE.
Isn’t it just like free/cheap revenue now that they have no plans to make future Sims games anyway? If they really dislike it I am sure they could find a buyer for it readily.
they announced a new one awhile back but I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere. but yeah Andromedia was bad, I couldn’t even make it past the very first planet.
They really desecrated Dungeon Keeper. IIRC it was so filled up with mobile game, microtransaction garbage you couldn’t even dig blocks of dirt more than once a day without buying “gems”.
If I had to guess Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen. It would then make sense to sell every IP they can’t include Ronaldo in to get some return on this investment.
Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.
Wouldn’t give up to much hope in either direction, cause of they do sell it only one of the existing bigger houses are going to be the only ones able to afford it. Although could you imagine a Larian mass effect?
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
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.
Yeah some of the mega projects he’s tried to build are straight out of Star Wars. Some look like Luke Skywalker’s home and the concept art for The Line looked like Coruscant.
If he wasn’t a scumbag murderer he’d be almost likable.

Ohh do they wanna move their hq to Saudi and name it EA Nasir?
Racist against Babylonians tbh, Ea Nasir would never treat customers like EA does.
It’s basically in Arabia if not specifically saud, who’s an illegitimate conqueror. That gives you a surprising steam pipe Valve reference but that means they wouldn’t do that.
Well, there goes the performative progressive values.
Now we’ll get those actionable regressive values! FUCK YEAH!
EA about to be more dead and soulless than it already is.
Ok, wasn’t going to buy EA games anyway
I wonder what EA IPs have just died right now?
mass effect? honestly that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. They’ll start pumping out more Battlefields, more sports, more money into UFC games and I would bet good money they’ll try to buy the license for WWE games from 2k. Saudi’s love their WWE.
Sims surely will either be cut or completely overhauled. It’s way too queer for them.
Isn’t it just like free/cheap revenue now that they have no plans to make future Sims games anyway? If they really dislike it I am sure they could find a buyer for it readily.
Was mass effect not already dead? Last game was andromeda and people didn’t like it and no news on another one.
they announced a new one awhile back but I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere. but yeah Andromedia was bad, I couldn’t even make it past the very first planet.
The “strike” series? Oh wait that was already dead.
Command and conq— no no no already dormant.
Oh! How about Road Rash—
Yeah nothing of value is going to be lost
They really desecrated Dungeon Keeper. IIRC it was so filled up with mobile game, microtransaction garbage you couldn’t even dig blocks of dirt more than once a day without buying “gems”.
SSX series—? Err
Oh no… not my sports IPs.
Anyway…
If I had to guess Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen. It would then make sense to sell every IP they can’t include Ronaldo in to get some return on this investment.
Maybe I could buy Road Rash?
I’ll throw a few bucks your way if you promise to make a new road rash
Maybe just check out Road Redemption?
Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.
Electronic Farts amirite
EA will stand for Evil Assholes after the buyout.
Just after?
Colloquially before, officially after.
I can only hope that they sell off Mass Effect to a better company, but I wont get my hopes up
Wouldn’t give up to much hope in either direction, cause of they do sell it only one of the existing bigger houses are going to be the only ones able to afford it. Although could you imagine a Larian mass effect?
I would CREAM over a Larian Mass Effect
100% they’ll sell off the gay games
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.

Plausible except the part about good, affordable games
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.
Right? Capitalism gotta capitalize on all that capital, sitting around in our bank accounts, when it could be sitting around in THEIR bank accounts!
That Saudi
ZoomerMilennial is actually MbS. He got rid of the wahhabists so he can nerd out more.Yeah some of the mega projects he’s tried to build are straight out of Star Wars. Some look like Luke Skywalker’s home and the concept art for The Line looked like Coruscant.
If he wasn’t a scumbag murderer he’d be almost likable.
