    Seems like the best company to buy if the objective is to continue sports-washing their reputation

    uh… isn’t that already what EA is? what’s their last original IP game, Anthem?

    If you install ring-0 software made by Saudi Arabia on your PC, you get what you deserve.

      We’re all using Microsoft and Apple anyways. You’ll be fine.

    How can it turn into something it already is?

      Ikr… Looking through their last six+ years of games I can see a whopping two games they developed that aren’t a sequel or remake - and those are both Star Wars franchise games.

      P. S. I’m looking only at the green ‘developed & published by EA’ titles not the blue ‘published by EA’ titles.

    Braindead gamers will buy it up. There are just so many of them that don't care.

      Say what you will about g*mers, EA definitely markets to the casual bro crowd these days
