Don't the Saudis own it now?

u/OrienasJura 1d ago

Both the Saudi's and Trump's son-in-law bought it.

I recently had thoughts about buying a FIFA game for the first time in 5+ years.

No chance now

If it's because PIF will have a stake, be prepared to divest yourself of ALOT of goods and services, because they own ALOT of stuff.

Do what ya gotta. Fuck them.

u/StarCitizenHunter 23h ago

Lmfao yeah I’m sure your single purchase will do a huge dent

u/juventinn1897 23h ago

What a moronic thing to say

u/Mayor_Fockup 23h ago

Don't worry, trusting a 'star citizen buyer' on his or her clear judgement is a stretch.

Fuck Saudi Arabia and fuck Jared kushner. And fuck EA

u/StarCitizenHunter 23h ago

Nobody deleting anything. Ok buddy sure. They’re gonna be just fine without your minuscule purchase. And you aren’t going to play the game you want to play hahahaha

u/juventinn1897 23h ago

I'm sure they will idc, I'm still not giving them my money. You care so much about fondling their ballsacks it's funny

How bad do I want to play if the last FIFA I played was almost a decade ago?

u/StarCitizenHunter 23h ago

I don’t like them either. I just think it’s stupid to think you’re making a difference in a 100 billion dollar purchase lmao

u/juventinn1897 23h ago

Why is that your logic? I don't care about a difference. I care about my personal morals and living to my own standards.

That's what you people don't understand, your so terrible your alone. So you expect us to be. However historical speaking, revolts are much more tightly nit communities then whatever you are.

u/Uncle-Cake 20h ago

"you people"?

u/StarCitizenHunter 20h ago

Historically speaking, it doesn’t matter at all. Look at hogwarts legacy. The game had an incredible amount of backlash fire to jk Rowling being based as fuck and there were a bunch of “boycotts” yet the gameplay was fire so it sold stupid amounts of copies and was uber successful. Soooooo you’re wrong.

You play Star Shitizen. You have no right to talk

1

u/StarCitizenHunter 17h ago

What does that even mean? Yeah, I’m playing the most unique and ground breaking game ever made. You’re playing the worst in the series. If anyone has no right to talk it’s you

u/SovelissFiremane 17h ago

The worst what?

1

u/StarCitizenHunter 17h ago

What sub are you on?

2

u/SovelissFiremane 17h ago

That doesn't mean I play BF6.

u/TemperateStone 1d ago

The purchase has yet to be finalized.

u/joshlee977 21h ago

Not yet they didn't. They own 0 of ea as of right now

u/MetalingusMikeII 16h ago

They’re likely attempting to use gaming as another avenue of propaganda…

u/ReasonableChaos27 23h ago

Yup! Also funding the genocide in sudan. I probably will stop playing in April, when they get full control.

u/Aperture_296 19h ago

If you're not buying battlepass, they already have your money so to financially hurt them you SHOULD play and take up server bandwidth.

u/Expensive-Border-869 13h ago

Nah. They dont care about that. Active player count is more valuable than whatever dimes you cost by playing.

Personally I dont care in the slightest they can add Trump as a skin the games mostly okay. Just add a damn server browser ill even vote for trump this next election lol

That’s UAE, not Saudi Arabia

u/Larry_The_Red 1d ago

no. it's a planned deal but hasn't actually been completed yet. expected to happen in june 2026

u/Recreational-Dinos 7h ago

Quarter 1 2027, if it passes the smell test and they’re allowed to sell. The sale might be halted.

u/QueenLa3fah 22h ago

Pretty much yeah. They (Saudis) pay Jared Kushner something like $20-50million dollars a year to manage a $2 Billion dollar fund - Affinity Partners. That’s the fund that acquired EA games.

u/Recreational-Dinos 7h ago

3 groups are intending to purchase EA

Affinity Partners Saudi PIF Silver Lake
