      Racist against Babylonians tbh, Ea Nasir would never treat customers like EA does.

      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.
