Despite assurances from management, some workers believe the company will be subject to censorship by its new owners.

    What values? Does anyone really think any of these mothers fuckers who sold it care or even have any values, the only value is how much money they are making out of it, if North Korea had a better offer they would have gladly accepted…grow the fuck up …trash selling to trash

    Legit… But is it real so much worse than working for the genocidal USA?

    There’s a reason these two shitholes are such close buddies.

    Not like EA were the pinnacle of goodness or altruism though, is it?

    Fuck 'em. They get what they deserve.

    Let’s hope they have “a sense of pride and accomplishment” for what’s happened.

      I mean EA as a company, sure.

      EA executives that have it’s the bullshit price and accomplishment, absolutely, may the get the slice of karma they all deserve.

      EA employees who had no say in most of the pride and accomplishment, not as much.

      Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Electronic Arts, the biggest leveraged buyout in private equity history, officially closed earlier this month.

      Because the Saudis are EA

      Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…

                The United States is the previous owner of EA.

                Saudi the new owner.

                Really get off your moral high horse already. Saudi is objectively more moral than the USA and that says more about the USA than Saudi being “good”.

              He really did explain it, but here you go:

              1. The media, in its many forms, provides information.

              2. Jamal Khashoggi works for a part of the media and said something the crown prince didn’t like.

              3. He used thugs and A FUCKING BONESAW to hack up that brave man.

              4. There is no four, that’s it. It’s the same message Israel is sending journalist: “The state message is the only message, say something different and we’ll fucking kill you first chance we get.”

              5. They are doing this with ICE and police in America more and more, so soon it won’t matter which totalitarian country owns which sycophantic company.
