@abc7newsbayarea: Video game giant Electronic Arts officially has new owners. The California-based maker of popular titles like "Battlefield" and "The Sims" announced Tuesday that it closed the $55 billion sale of its business to Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF, investment firm Silver Lake Partners and Affinity Partners, which is run by U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. #ea #electronicarts #videogames #thesims #saudiarabia #jaredkushner#abc7news

If the Saudi's can buy EA with the help of Trump's son in law, give China tiktok back. My algorithm understood me then.

Isn’t it a little weird the government of Saudi Arabia owns a video game company?? Also a lil weird that Trump is enabling them to build nukes…I mean nuclear power, which Iran can’t have because they haven’t given trump and his family billions…

i've been playing the sims since i was 6 years old and it's genuinely heartbreaking to watch this happen. the sims community was inclusive, full of activism, and overall so wholesome, too. things will never be the same :/
