Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

This is a must see.The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi has been so skipped by the general reporting of the EA buyout (I don't recall any media other than Eurogamer.es talking about it, but might be wrong) that I almost gaslighted myself into thinking the man behind it was "another saudi prince".

Good shit. Unfortunately, games are now both profitable and culturally relevant enough to garner the attention of asshole CEOs, insatiable shareholders, and regimes in need of a little reputational laundering... 😔

Damned impressive breakdown of the EA/Saudi situation and why "keep politics out of games" is an ignorant, and maybe even dangerous position to take.

Still pretty good.

Wow… shout out to @charalanahzard.bsky.social for this excellent video. Very well articulated and understandable explanation of everything we’re seeing in the gaming communities. “Stop watching and go play Blue Prince” is an excellent final statement. Great video. youtu.be/9HM9nmqNioQ?...

This is one of my favourite podcasts I’ve ever recorded. We love to see good people succeeding 🥹❤️.
A chat with Insomniac’s WOLVERINE (Liam McIntyre), Ghost of Yotei’s Atsu (@erikaishii.bsky.social) & SAROS’ Arjun Devraj (@rahulkohli13.bsky.social)! It was so lovely to get to chat to these three awesome people about their careers, and their new roles as PlayStation leads!

Fun fact: at some point several people’s names were patched OUT of Destiny 2’s credits. People who worked on that game and were credited accordingly, were, for some reason, subsequently removed.
Video game credits are atrocious.
