Comment on It's official: EA is going private.

Saudi owning FIFA is hilarious seeing most of its profit comes from gambling. Muslims my ass 😂 Not that they ever practiced what they preached anyway—Islam or not, religion has always been nothing but a tool of oppression to rulers.

Instead of lootboxes, you cut open journalists to get your prizes.

It would be interesting if EA pulled away from lootboxes for their owner’s ideological reasons.

  You can bet they’ll pull away from LGBTQ+ representation.

    Yeah. There’s domestic pressure for this anyway, unfortunately.

Maybe they’ll remove the gambling. Probably not but it would be good if they did.

  Didn’t as much lose it as they called FIFA (an organization worse than EA)'s bluff when FIFA wanted like a billion for the naming rights.

It doesn’t exactly scream “Shariah Compliant”, no.

The religious skirting around the doctrines of their faith is a feature, not a bug.

The only part of the religion that matters is the part that lets them treat women as sex slaves anyways.

Why do people always connect saudi to Islam when it’s pretty obvious no muslim other than Saudis likes the Saudi family as they are infamous for their practises. While even a slight hint at israel and Judaism or rich jewish assholes with judaism would get you down voted to the ground even when it’s an appropriate callout.
