just had a nap for 90 minutes hope i didn’t miss any news that was incredibly stupid and or funny in the meantime

private equity and saudi investment fund teaming up to buy ea is so fucking good like what are the meetings gonna be like. silver lake guy says we should sell codemasters immediately for stock buybacks while the PIF greenlights a 250 million dollar ultima 10

anyway. obviously not great news but watching gamers act like taking saudi money is some instant evil that permanently taints you forever while continuing to happily buy xbox games does make me feel a bit crazy. american genocide is ok we can compartmentalise that

the games industry is a product of a big tech industry that supplies infrastructure for imperialism, and its most successful and profitable works have deep ties to arms manufacturers, and us military propaganda. acting like this is a new betrayal and not just capitalism as normal is like. lol cmon

the actual thing here is the PE leveraged buyout, the prelude to money men looting before the whole thing is stripped for parts
