Then find a new job??? If they're allegedly so morally opposed to their new bosses then why the fuck do they still work there? Let EA rot, jump on board a new studio.

It's not like the job market is good at the moment.

Just finding a job isnt an easy task currently

Maybe, but I don't think the Saudi rulers are lead particularly by belief. That's just some physical world nonsense to keep the plebs in check.

What leads them is money, and the fear that all that oil money they've relied on for the last 100 years or so is going to run out at some point.

That's why games like It Takes Two and Mass Effect will be culled. That's why it'll be wall-to-wall live-service war-slop and sports-slop until the day everyone with even a hint of creativity quits, and then it carries on anyway in a shambling AI form. And people will still lap it up.

Could you imagine? Having art and media freedom hindered by the bigoted, imperialistic values of an authoritarian regime?

Anyway, hope this doesn't effect the Battlefield series. 😔

My wife is glad Paralives is out so she can ignore The Sims.

Its way better and more inclusive.

I would be surprised if EA can make anything at all after any of its current projects. They need to make more money in profits than they currently make in revenue to survive.

they will never revive CNC, especially generals which has the GLA.
