2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Wow did not see this coming. Saudi Arabia is desperate to diversify so from that angle it makes sense. Kushner wants in lol. That's a big buyout though. Well, things are going to get weird.

From the articles linked elsewhere this is between PIF (Saudi Arabia), Silver lake (American), and affinity partners (Jared kushner)

From wiki about affinity partners:

Kushner's firm received commitments of more than $3 billion by the end of 2021 to invest in American and Israeli companies that are expanding in India, Africa, the Middle East and other parts of Asia. The largest investor by some margin is the Saudi government's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, which has allocated $2bn of its nearly with Kushner stating that he hopes to open an "investment corridor between Saudi Arabia and Israel",[2][3] seen internationally as a "sign of warming ties between two historic rivals".[4] Officials who headed the Public Investment Fund objected to investing in Kushner's firm, but Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman overruled those officials.[5]

I haven't bought an EA game since Mass Effect 3. This is just one more reason to never give them my money.

Damn, it really happened. Crazy.

It'll be interesting seeing how the worst games company manages to find a way to become even worse.

Ea: was I a good game company.

Grim Reaper: No!

What difference does this make honestly? They’re already a shit company, what do I care who owns them?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 34 minutes ago

The idea of playing a new Mass Effect owned by Jared Kushner.

[–] damon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I wonder if there’s any entities that they do partnerships with that have provisions in their contracts against this, curious if the sports leagues do. They’re notoriously protective of their IPa and rights
