I should have clarified, this is a leveraged buyout. If you know what that is, you assume EA will be raided and sold for scrap. EA being thrown to the private equity vultures is the worst possible outcome for their studios and IPs.

>>1792298 >EA being thrown to the private equity vultures is the worst possible outcome for their studios and IPs It was all dead in their hands anyway.

>>1792298 So it's another word for bankruptcy without the actual bankrupt announcement?

>>1792271 >>1792298 Kill all private equity kikes.

>>1792298 How does this differ from something like Valve since Valve does very well and is a private company.

>>1792298 Does this mean American McGee could buy back Alice from EA if he wanted to? I feel like 2K under Take-Two would just swoop in & get the NHL & Madden NFL games from them to establish a sports game monopoly.

>>1792271 It is EA, so everything they make will still be shit.

>>1792298 >EA being thrown to the private equity vultures is the worst possible outcome for their studios and IPs >worst possible outcome This is EA that we're talking about, right? Sometimes dead is better. >>1792522 You're really gonna bring up the company who has a monopoly on PC game digital distribution when someone mentions a company that has always bought up studios and IPs like crazy, before quickly turning them into trash and kill them off? EA doesn't even have the crown of most evil gaming company, seems like it might've fallen into the hands of either the Chinese or Japanese. >>1792531 >I feel like 2K under Take-Two would just swoop in & get the NHL & Madden NFL games from them to establish a sports game monopoly Gonna have to fight Mickey for them.

Garbage shifting hands. Only difference we'll see is that EA will no longer have to tell the public about anything instead of mandatory financial reports to public

>>1792522 Because Valve is owned by private individuals, like Gabe and various other executives and employees who have a vision and a culture for what kinds of games and platforms they want to create. EA is being bought out by private equity firms. They don't give a shit about anything except for money, and it's very unlikely that they have any interest in making video games or adding a profitable video game company to their assets. If they keep the company at all, they'll pump them for as much cash as they can bleed out of customers and then butcher the company to sell the scraps off to the highest bidders. That's essentially how Sierra died after Ken sold out to CUC. CUC only bought them up as a smoke screen for the financial shenanigan they were pulling behind the scene - and once caught, ended up having the shitcan most of the studios partly to pay off restitutions, and partly because their actually financials couldn't afford a company Sierra's size. This resulted in the "Chainsaw Monday" layoffs and the closing of the original Yosemite studio. Shortly after that the company was sold to Vivendi, and by 2008 there was nothing left of them except for a collection of dusty old IPs and a brand logo. They were then merged into Activision/Blizzard, and most recently, to Microsoft. (Ken Williams literally CUC'd his company to death) That's the difference between being privately owned by a handful of individuals with a vision, and being privately owned by a bunch of investment firms, holding companies, and other corporate vultures.

>>1792683 I see, so basically EA is dead

>>1792683 >That's essentially how Sierra died after Ken sold out to Concordia University Chicago. What do these words mean?

>>1792688 Not necessarily, but they are just a big bundle of assets to be sold, leased, or kept, depending on how much money they think they can make. >>1792709 Comp-U-Card International

>>1792271 Bad business, bad business.

>>1792531 I want to like him but he went full Chink shill and America is bad and CCP is better.

>>1793184 Some people have to learn "the devil you know is better than the chink you don't" the hard way.

>>1793184 To be fair, he's not far off. Britain is jailing more people on speech crimes than China by a wide fucking margin these days. America probably won't be far behind them, especially if the Rebublicunts lose the next election cycle because of fucking course they would. Two cheeks of the same ass and all that.

>>1792298 I dont really see EA being sacked as a bad thing, theyve been doing what you described to studios and IPs for a while now so while it may be expensive some of the ips could end up being freed from their awful hands and back in development provided someone is willing to fork out cash to equity kikes

Zampella is trying to save Battlefield and they pivoted from trannies to jewing their next game with only real women instead which might be enough for normalniggers to pretend the game is "based" but other than that they're doing nothing with their IPs except for driving them into the ground. C&C remasturd is the only exception I can think of and it obviously did nothing for their bottom line. They're coasting on milking idiots via gambling cards in their annual FIFA, Madden and college football games so this is not surprising proposal.

>>1794066 >Women on the frontlines is based How far we've fallen

>>1794066 >>1794106 Based on what?

>>1794066 Battlefield 6 being """"based"""" is like believing that nintendo won't fuck over fans

>>1792522 Because Valve is owned by Gabe Newell, not management companies. PE firms are worse than shareholders for enshittifying a company, a lot of good companies circled the drain once private equity got hold of them.

>>1792271 So what miracle happened that they are finally dying? I thought they would live forever on fifa players

>>1795051 EA Sports FC 25 didn't sell as many copies compared to 24. Dragon Age Veilguard also didn't sell well

>>1795051 No miracle whatsoever. Nothing is too big to fall. Everything that turns to shit WILL die eventually.

I doubt anything will change tbh.

>>1792271 >no more infinite bailouts from BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street >no more lying to shareholders to bolster cash flow <goes bankrupt in a year when no one buys their shit anymore Beautiful.

>>1795843 what bugs me is how long that scam was allowed to go on.

>>1795456 It will look, look at Bethesda and Activision post Microsoft buyout. Both are dead on the water.

>>1793707 >than China by a wide fucking margin these days. It's because you never hear of it, you really think chinks don't to it in large scale? Who is gonna report it? You will only start seeing this when you dig on the chink side of the web yourself

>>1796595 Both were dead in the water before Microshit. >>1796899 As long as you don't speak against the Chinese goobermint, you should be mostly okay, but Airstrip One jails and fines people for saying things woke ideology doesn't like, which is practically everything. So far China should still have the far worse punishment for wrongspeak but it's only a matter of time before they lose that crown.

>>1797483 >Both were dead in the water before Microshit. Indeed, why they sold out, but being indepedent would have have made them last longer as it would be easier for them to adapt.

>>1792271 Apparently, the buyers are connected to president Donald Trump, and leftards are angry about this.

>>1798093 Are we sure this isn't another example of TDS?

>>1798093 Leftards are angry about the Kushner part, and rightards are angry about this Saudis part. It's a nice balance.

>>1798093 Why be mad when EA makes shit game regardless

>>1798079 >it would be easier for them to adapt Wait, we're not talking about Bethesda and Activision?

>>1798133 You think you'll see something like the Arkane/Machine Games push by Bethesda or the new engine and game mechanics developed by Activision with the Modern Warfare Reboot? They'll be pumping way lower risk trash products until they die.

>>1798161 >you'll see something like the Arkane/Machine Games push by Bethesda Both of these companies look like they haven't been worth a damn in decades, besides one game each. Now Bethesda itself, doesn't seem to really know how to make a video game. >new engine and game mechanics developed by Activision with the Modern Warfare Reboot But I want Call of Duty dead, along with Battlefield, and besides, you know very well how quickly that company becomes cheap and lazy. Honestly, what else do they have after they've ran everything else into the ground while trying to bank on buying tons of shit like Candy Crush.

>>1798224 >Now Bethesda itself, doesn't seem to really know how to make a video game. They still make video games? I thought they gave that up to make a watch or something.

>>1797483 Chinkland somewhat has hate speech laws more strict than other countries,the real difference is size, the country is simply too big,you will not even hear how they have flooded entire rural cities to save face in the past, let alone about this kind of stuff, britain is fucked but the size simply helps with the illusion.

>>1798487 On other note Australia,Canada,the UK itself are all very "china-like", it's not a coincidence they tall follow the same model from china and chinks of the biggest pushers of all that shit.

I'd be surprised if EA could become even worse, outside of destroying their few things that weren't cancer (e.g. the C&C remaster)

>>1798224 >But I want Call of Duty dead, along with Battlefield What military shooter alternatives are there?

>>1798572 there are those more simulator oriented ones like arma and ww2 ones - hell let loose and post scriptum

>>1792271 Why would some firm pay 50 billion for a dying company like EA? Aren't they just flushing their money down the toilet? How do they think they're going to make that investment back?

>>1798224 >I want them dead So do I retard, and I fucking hated Dishonored on top as well, I'm just being realistic here. These companies when by themselves had the urge to survive and would do some calculated risks in order to do so, under these predatory corps however, their death is certain.

https://archive.ph/RdHpO EA Announces Agreement to be Acquired by PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners for $55 Billion

>>1799852 Is it on my side or is this page completely blank

>>1799857 It is blank. I searched for a snapshot and just copypasted without checking.

>>1799852 Yep, deal is final now.

>>1800002 Unless the FTC wanted to block it or something, but I can't imagine why, since its not as big as the actiblizz xbox deal. This does make me realize though that we have very few major publishers / developers that are Western. Are there any notable publishers beside Take-Two and Ubisoft that aren't just associated with microsoft/sony themselves?

>>1792522 Valve is independently owned. You don't really think of them as an indie studio as they helped define AAA with Half-Life, but they have no outside investors or owners.

>>1800014 Thq

>>1800048 Saudi PIF has 8% in Embracer/THQ so it's more of a globohomo than western despite Swedes and Americans owning more imo.

>>1800014 >Are there any notable publishers beside Take-Two and Ubisoft that aren't just associated with microsoft/sony themselves? Warner Bros. Games (WB is already planning for a restructure for them with a focus on the DC Universe, Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and Game of Thrones, and that division will be part of the streaming & studios company when WB Discovery split in mid-2026) CD Projekt I would say Devolver Digital but Sony & NetEase already have minority stakes in them.

Welp, they did it. Now how long until the Saudis behead EA's CEO for being an infidel?

>>1800488 >Welp, they did it. Now how long until the Saudis behead EA's CEO for being an infidel? Hopefully tomorrow. It would be really funny for them to come out with a game promoting good, Muslim values.

>>1800499 Sims faggots (the literal ones) on twitter were panicking when the deal was just a rumor.

>>1800499 rape simulator?

>>1800048 >>1800454 Thanks for these. I genuinely forgot about THQ since they've seemed to become more of a AA publisher and I haven't thought about WB since I haven't played one of their games since Shadow of Mordor. I wonder if AAA games are just too capital expensive to allow publishers to reliably form. It might be another decade before we see another big publisher rise from the smaller and middling publishers in the industry.

>>1798349 Starfield bombed, they somehow pulled off making an Elder Scrolls game look uglier and put stupid shit in like body types with Oblivion remake, and when Elder Scrolls VI bombs, my money is gonna be on them running back to make a Skyrim remake and sequel. >>1798572 Honestly, they should all die with those two monsters. FPS is almost completely soulless now because of that shit. >>1799065 EA has a massive vault of corpses they can make money with, if they have their own game developers. >>1799078 >I'm just being realistic here You're being delusional about a group of companies who double and triple down on what's losing them money while never taking advantage of any traction they might end up with. Hell, EA alone deserved death over a decade ago. What's next for you, hope for Ubishit? >>1800014 >Ubisoft Aren't they practically dead if they went through with giving China control of all their biggest names? >>1800454 >Warner Bros. Games (WB is already planning for a restructure for them with a focus on the DC Universe, Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and Game of Thrones, and that division will be part of the streaming & studios company when WB Discovery split in mid-2026) I thought Warner shut the whole thing down since they got rid of what might have been the only good developer that they owned. >CD Projekt You better hope that next Witcher game has insane gameplay because they seem to want to be in Ubisofts situation. >>1800488 Is the Satan looking guy still in that position?

>>1800454 I forgot to also mention there's also take-jew

Picrel should also be updated with new panels

>>1800708 I don't remember the last time I purchased one of their games. I think it was BF3 in 2011. Anyway, nothing will change. BF6 will be worse than previous entries, dead IPs will stay dead, and DEI will be replaced by another brand of filth.

The end of AAA games is upon us.

>>1800979 they simply grew too big, budgets for games that started famous series pale in comparison to whats being spent on advertising alone in current times

>>1798093 >jews are involved in an equity firm

>>1800979 I hope GTA6 is just totally broken on release. >>1800861 Excluding bundles that happened to include Mirror's Edge and DAO for cheap, I think the last time I ever bought a new EA game was some greatest hits re-release on GCN.

>>1798572 Like >>1798609 says, most seem to veer towards sim or tactical shooter, so not alternatives to CoD or Battlefield.

>>1800979 And that's a good thing!

>>1800648 >them running back to make a Skyrim remake and sequel Skyrim extraction shooter with lootboxes. How? Why? Because extraction shooter with lootboxes. It makes no sense? Still, extraction shooter with lootboxes.

The acquisition is $55b. Is this the largest buyout in corporate history? It makes me really question how the they (the buyers) will make this purchase worthwhile. EA already makes most of its value from scam FIFA ultimate team gambling bullshit. How the fuck do you grow the business from rock bottom?

>>1804453 >The acquisition is $55b. Is this the largest buyout in corporate history? Yes it is. This was the previous largest buyout TXU deal is largest ever leveraged buyout (It happened in 2007 btw, ain't it a coincidence that year always pops up?) https://archive.ph/pAj2o >Texas power company TXU Corp. said on Monday it agreed to be acquired by a group led by private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group for $31.8 billion (16.2 billion pounds) in the largest leveraged buyout in history. >The investor group will pay $69.25 per share for TXU, a 15.4 percent premium over TXU's closing stock price of $60.02 on Friday. The funding of the transaction will not result in new debt at the regulated utility business, TXU said. >"It seem like a normal offer. What's mind-boggling is that it's being done by private equity," said Daniele Seitz, an analyst at Dalhman Rose, who has a "hold" rating on the stock. >Shares of TXU jumped 13.3 percent to $68 before the bell. >The deal trumps KKR's $25.1 billion takeover of RJR Nabisco, announced in 1988

>>1804453 They're also taking 20 Billion debt from one of the companies buying it.

>>1804453 >how the they (the buyers) will make this purchase worthwhile Through money laundering.

>>1792298 What is a leveraged buyout, exactly? Why is it done? What does the buyer stand to gain as profit?

>>1804677 >What is a leveraged buyout, exactly? Borrowing money from a bank to buy a company, most of these businesses are based off usury after all. >Why is it done? Cover Private Equity companies debt, cut the fat off the bought company and sell it for a profit (if they are profitable and if the CEO doesn't run off with a big fat check). >What does the buyer stand to gain as a profit? The company they bought covers their debts, their workforce bloat gets layed off to maximize company value and then gets sold for a profit, or shut down while the Private Equity company rolls the dice. It's more complicated than that, but EA is now these companies toilet paper essentially. Years of not seeing any meaningful growth and Andrew Wilson seeing the state of the business and wanting out in his golden parachute. EA is dead in the water, and maybe FIFA FC Sports will survive with a skeleton crew. See also, ToysRUs, AAA is dying right in front of us, and it's glorious. https://archive.is/FZyRR

Even the whores who still support The Sims franchise are panicking over "more microtransactions" and "AI slop" (but the $500 they already have is fine?). But they also think the group (which fully supports trannies, faggots, fractional reserve banking, open borders, and globalism) is "conservative." https://archive.ph/UQ9ts https://www.gamesradar.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4-stans-share-just-why-they-find-the-record-breaking-usd55-billion-ea-deal-extremely-scary-citing-everything-from-concerns-about-ai-to-potential-layoffs-and-more-microtransactions/

>EA is being bought out by a saudi prince weeaboo What a timeline.

>>1805226 It is extra funny how all sides suddenly stopped (((fighting))) and are now all (((concerned))) about the Islamic owning entertainment companies in the west. It truly shows who all the controlled opposition are.

>>1805259 And as far as I know saudis aren't on bad terms with israel. And neither is America. Shows everyone what they actually think of the.

>>1805275 Think of the what? THINK OF THE WHAT?

>>1805275 >Shows everyone what they actually think of the. I think anon had a stroke before he could finish typing.

>>1805297 >>1805304 *think of them

>>1805259 Why am I supposed to be concerned about Saudis owning shit from USA? They seem to be handling football mostly fine. And it's not like either EA, or FIFA (as the association), weren't crooked or fucked prior. I'll agree that Ben Sulayem is doing some awful shit for F1, but that aside, not much really.

>>1805259 PIF and Affinity are ESG certified so it's just retards screeching for no reason.

>>1804746 Now a Faggot Age director is reading his scripted message about how "MUH PROGRESSIVE VALUES!" will be overturned and "everyone will revolt because of it" thanks to the buyout. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/dragon-age/former-dragon-age-director-says-its-hard-to-imagine-bioware-pivoting-from-very-progressive-messaging-to-having-the-reverse-following-eas-usd55-billion-buyout-and-public-perception-not-being-apocalyptically-bad-if-it-did/ https://archive.ph/ZGEXR >Ex-BioWare veteran Mark Darrah – who served as a project director and executive producer on Dragon Age 1, 2, and Inquisition – has been discussing the potential impact of the proposed $55 billion buyout of EA, noting that it's "hard to imagine" the DA and Mass Effect studio shifting from "having very progressive messaging to having the reverse." >"It's hard to imagine that you have BioWare pivot from having very progressive messaging to having the reverse because it's what the government wants. It's hard to imagine that the public perception of a game that comes out of BioWare even if you do do that isn't apocalyptically bad," he suggests. "So in that case you either have to decide that you're willing to just leave it alone, or you have to think that they don't fit anymore within the goals of this new organization."

>>1805190 >t. Mr. Shekelberg

>>1794066 Battlefield is probably dead regardless. It's been too long after 9/11 to have an active HOO-RAH fanbase and market anymore.

>>1805670 >It's hard to imagine that the public perception of a game that comes out of BioWare even if you do do that isn't apocalyptically bad Does this guy live in another dimension?

>>1804453 Gut the company, sell everything not making money, keep the few things making money and crank them into overdrive. So basically, turn it into the Madden+FIFA+Battlefield Company and sell off everything else.

>>1805966 I wonder if we'll see the Square Enix selloff from EA. I wish somebody better than Embracer bought Deus Ex et al

>>1805966 They might also continue with the Sims stuff, though I am not sure what it more likely, a Sims 1 remake can't imagine how that would even work, or a Sims 5 that is worse than 4?

>>1805900 Yeah, southern California. Anything that isn't overt communist propaganda is "completely unacceptable" and "no one would ever want it."

>>1805999 They'll probably do a Sims live service.

>>1806116 4 is that already. >>1805999 (checked) A Sims without the LGBT and Star Wars bullshit would be nice, but given the kind of modders that are around for 4, they'll probably just mod that shit back in.

>>1806164 Well, Sims 4 base game is free; it's the DLC that is all individually paid. He's suggesting Sims becomes World of Warcraft.

>>1806472 >>1806116 If they do that, hopefully it has the same fate as Sim City 2013.

>>1806116 What about a sims live service Gacha that you use to roll for clothes or certain cosmetics a la Infinity Nikki? I am sure EA have thought about this to a great extent and now thepurchase wil simply give them the go ahead. The real question would be if modders would be allowed or simply banned since they would create exploits around the gacha system.

>>1805259 Why wouldn't anyone sane not have concerns about Muslims having large amounts of control ?

>>1793707 >To be fair, he's not far off. China literally has camps to indoctrinate people and censors the web there to the point where our goverments want to copy. >>1797483 >s long as you don't speak against the Chinese goobermint, you should be mostly okay, You poor summer child.

>>1815860 >our goverments Who's 'our' in this case ?

>>1816043 My money is Yuroland

This deal is based on the idea that AI will allow EA to massively cut salaries (i.e. mass layoffs without a productivity decrease) to become more profitable at the same income. It's actually a little difficult to state how absurdly dangerous this buyout was, it is based on tech speculation. The last time a leveraged buyout of this size happened it was TXU, renamed Energy Future Holdings. It went bankrupt 7 years later at the hands of private equity, don't expect EA to last even that long because the AI bubble will pop sooner than that. In my opinion, this will lead to the biggest corporate collapse in gaming. Significantly worse than THQ in raw numbers, and bigger than Atari in impact.

>>1816043 Every Western government.

>>1819539 Makes sense.I figured it'd be a westerner thinking the entire world revolves around him only.

>>1816043 Most governments in the world.

>>1819656 You illiterate nigger, what the fuck do you think the discussion is about? No one gives a shit about niggerbongoland's government killing its citizens for their speech. The West is where we HAVEN'T had that happen until now. Fuck off.

>>1819486 Good

>>1794066 they did a few things before this they put games like populous, saboteur, sims, simcity, cnc and a bunch of other stuff on steam (finally) and also open sourced all the cnc games they still had the source code of. guess they saw the writing on the wall and tried to lessen their guilt a little (if they had any)

>>1815860 the whole world wants to copy China because from a statist perspective its being quite successful than the rest of the world, what is the point of having freedom of speech or gay pride parades when your government can be destroyed at the whims of a foreign entity. Personally I don't think its going to happen, 2030 is right around the corner, and WW3 will likely eliminate a good portion of the old world views, which will create a new opportunity, everyone will be occupied with reconstruction and will have some kind of AI in their pockets which will be tracking every second of their lives ether they like or not, and with the humanity's ability to anthropomorphize these things they will have a direct control of the minds of future generations.

>>1796595 I wonder how the strip club in starfield would have looked like originally.

>>1820115 No need for WW3, the state of the economy and the state of boomers speaks for itself.

>>1800551 we get a good sims game without gay stuff in it that promotes family values? count me in. arabs somehow love family value promoting a lot

>>1804733 >EA is dead in the water Nuts how this is 100% their own fault for YEARS of absorbing and killing off countless IPs. Motherfuckers genuinely bought golden geese by the dozen and then shot them, who'da fuckin thunk it right lmaoooooooo Fuck you EA, eat absolute shit after what you did to Dead Space 3 and (oops ya killed it) 4

>>1804477 I've been feeling like we're on the cusp of a major economic downturn within the next 2 years in the form of mass unemployment and wages on a race to the bottom while inflation continues to climb fast. Will it be like 2008s fall only time will tell.

>>1820253 >>1804733 What they did to others are now being done to them. Thats some ironic karma. >>1800551 They're worthless maggots. Sure they cry about the saudis but all they did was throw some token resistance and then proceeded to suck em off and shill the next sims game. Meanwhile when harry potter was on the line these faggots came out with pitchforked raised ready to ruin lives.

I'm a poor fuck who stopped playing AAA games after my outdated PC could no longer play them even at lowest settings and now stick to unoptimized indie games and am not caught up with news on AAA games and studios. What does this spell for older EA franchises and titles like Command and Conquer and Need for Speed (up to 2012 Most Wanted)?

>>1820822 >Command and Conquer If Dawn of War 4 pulls some good numbers, I suspect it will receive a sequel or a remake of one of previous games >Need for Speed I don't know, F2P GAAS racing game ?

>>1820822 Not much really At worst more mobileshit At best some passionate devs will use the chaos inside the company in it's deathbed to provide more releases like the Remaster and the Source code of C&C These companies aren't in the business of videogames anymore anon, they're in the business of legalized child gambling. Also, here's a nice gist of modern AAA.

>>1819486 Nice. >>1820891 I think, besides faithful remasters or source releases slipping out, we might see someone purchase rights to some of the good licensed games EA made and work to get the IP holder to agree to re-release them (possibly the other way around, or the IP holder just grabbing it directly). Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Simpsons (Road Rage+The Game), and Eurocom Bond games (N64 World is Not Enough, Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing)+From Russia with Love all have stuff worth a re-release. A faithful Nightfire re-release with keyboard+mouse controls, online MP, and custom weapon sets would be fun >>1820891 What is the last AAA released in a playable state anyways?

>>1822327 >Bond >LoTR >Harry Potter >Simpsons Not happening, the licensing costs must be insane and I doubt any of these companies have the source code. >What is the last AAA game released in a playable state Hogwarts Legacy funnily enough

>>1819486 Meanwhile Atari is trying to make a comebak. buy Atari stock

>>1822595 Totally different company wearing the skinned mask of Atari's face, but yes their new CEO is taking them much more seriously. Thought bought Nightdive and, more interesting if you're an industry person, MobyGames. However I don't like their buying spree, that's the Jack Welch style of corporate administration and often ends poorly.

>>1824242 >See also: Payday Devs being greedy, Modern gacha FOMO, anything with lootboxes. Modern gaming is that predatory.

>>1825373 It's just good business and if nothing else the semite has a genetic pre-disposition to good business.

>>1825373 Sorry I couldn't resist posting this type of meme. It's not about whether EA will remain woke or become based, but that EA will be hollowed out into a shell of a company. Expect massive firings and liquidations.

>>1825485 Asset stripping has always been good business.

>>1825260 Nigger EA is paying the vig! This isn't about consumers, that's the terms of a leveraged buyout.

>>1825485 Saudi Arabia says they're pro-ESG, they shape their economy based on ESG, they demonstrated they're pro-ESG in other video game companies, but yes, I'm sure that they'll make an exception for EA. EA will change. They'll start using AI tools, some people who have needed to get gone for the longest time will get gone, but if you expect them to fundamentally change their nature, you're gravely mistaken. The only thing they care about is Muslims being portrayed well. They were behind the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 woke slop. That's what you're going to get from EA. It is funny how the progressive agenda that was all in our heads is now very real, and they're terrified that Saudi Arabia will get rid of it.

>>1825956 >They were behind the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 woke slop Why would they enforce adding a nigger from Mali when they can't stand them and the character he's based on is an actual Arab? Sounds more like Larry The Enforcer.

>>1820116 Still would've been an ugly globohomo mess, but the skinsuits would at least be on sexier characters. The game takes place in a post great reset world and actively celebrates it by starting on the tricentennial of said great reset.

>>1832912 Thanks for sharing this, anon!

I question why PE firms are even legal. Literally all they do is buy up assets and either rentseek ("management fees") or flip them for a profit for their investors. They contribute virtually nothing to society yet since the 1980s have bought up massive swaths of everything, from local plumbing companies to real estate. I feel like the very concept of a PE firm would have been regulated out of existence decades ago.

>>1820115 >wants to be like china >keeps pushing shit that destroys national unity Not I disagree with governments wanting more power. But it aint ever gonna be like china if all they do is push schizo laws

>>1862267 >They contribute virtually nothing to society Would you rather they stick to Microsoft and Disney's plans of action, where they buy everything up in sight and refuse to release it to the public? Not saying that's the "only" other option, but PE are the polar opposites of how monopolies operate. And they're allowed to exist because they keep the money flowing.

>>1862637 >wants to be like china >keeps pushing shit that destroys national unity Anon, do you NOT know your Chinese history? They want to repeat MaoMao's rise to power in creating a Communist state. And look at all the "unity" he brought about during the various Chinese civil wars that occurred during the 20's, 30's, and 40's. The tactic is referred to as "Unity, Criticism, Unity". You first create a desire for "unity", then you criticize and attack the existing institutions for "failing" to allow for said "unity", and then (After those institutions have been destroyed or subverted) you create a "unity" on a new level.

>>1862759 Mao for all his other retardation understood you had to be united against something. You missing an important step there was an outgroup >China vs the Japs >China vs Imperial west >China vs Corrupt Republic of China >China numba wan >We all struggling together They can try all they want, you have to have at least charisma and a cause worth dying for. How the fuck will I ever trust these fuckwits with my life and livelihood when everything they touch turns to absolute shit, when clearly some groups get to rape and steal and all the burden is put on the law abiding ones. We are not suffering together clearly you are protecting your own special groups. Mao at least attempted to maintain an illusion that he was a common man. >durr you all starving but im also just eating plain rice i'm just like you >durr i'mma send my son to front lines, I wont ask you to do something I myself won't do! Send me your children so we can save China! <Mr. General if my son dies imma killll you. I see their shit plans and their shit implentation. And fucking weaklings that can't do shit without crying. I am not impressed they fucking failed already.

>>1862833 >How the fuck will I ever trust these fuckwits with my life and livelihood when everything they touch turns to absolute shit, when clearly some groups get to rape and steal and all the burden is put on the law abiding ones Because it pushes you to the other group, who has the same exact ideology but under a different but more appealing label. You against Antifa, the LGBT, the Democrats, Israel, and the WEF? Then wouldn't you know it, there's a group for you called "The Christian Nationalists". And their aims are to create a society centered on common "Christian" ownership of the means of production culture, distribution, and exchange, where products are allocated based on need "Christian" morals. It envisions a society without private property sexual degenerates, social classes pagans, money usury, and the state Jews.

>>1862267 The same reason why a murderous nigger is favored over a intelligent white man: the nigger is impulsive and spends money without thinking, while the intelligent white man saves money. Your complaint should be directed at the economic system, which, as always, is the reason for all problems in the world. It prioritizes money flow instead of actually useful actions. A company buying everything makes the money flow even among bankrupt companies, so it is prioritized over companies that produce useful things that people buy once and never again (because they are too good and useful, so there is no need to buy more).

>>1864621 >Christian Nationalists Have you seen todays christian thats an impossibility.

>>1864621 >You against Antifa, the LGBT, the Democrats, Israel, and the WEF? Then wouldn't you know it, there's a group for you called "The Christian Nationalists". The hilarious thing is when I'm against all those, but then said Christian nationalists, or at least a significant portion of them would rather shoot me dead because of my beliefs/skin colour/country of origin, if they could afford to. >>1864718 >When Christianity dominates everything, it is a good thing. When others do it, it is wrong. Deal with it. I don't think there's anything to deal with since with people around the world going more athiest, Christianity has zero chance to "dominate everything". That ship has sailed.

>>1864718 The fuck happened to you, you used to suck off jews and hate christians Now you did a complete 180 and yet youre still retarded.
