Electronic Arts to go private

Noxia said:
Can someone please help me decide what to do. I made a big deal about boycotting steam and or certain payment processors because you know they shouldn't be allowed to force age verification and I did a lot of virtue signalling about it all.
However, I really want to play Battlefield 6 and other EA Games in future, but then I will be giving money direct to an oppressive regime!!!

At what point do I have to admit my hypocrisy?

I read the Saudis have had the biggest stake in EA for a while before taking it private.

Seems like a good way to lose customers. No interest in any EA game anyway before or after this.

You live in a very small world if you think this.

99% of gamers don't give a fudge who owns the studio/publishers (me included). If the game is good and their mates play it then they will buy it.

If there's one thing I've learned from this forum, letting people know you can afford something is very important in protecting fragile masculinity.

Edit: BTW I could totally afford some games in the Steam sale, I just don't want to.

I was trying to find this old YT short of a guy in an M3 that invites his friend over for a drive to show off, then drives the distance of 2 driveways then stops, cause he's broke and asks his mate for gas money :cry:

I just realised this is a leveraged buyout...so they are going to try to service a $55b debt (whatever billion is in the leverage) and trying to make a profit?

Good luck with that.

Having a 5090 and getting so little gaming time would not be good for my wellbeing :cry:

I almost force myself to play a demanding game now and then because I spend so much playing games I could use the iGPU for lol.Speaking of, time for my annual attempt of finishing Hogwarts.
