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".
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.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip
Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets
However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

Que cojones xd
Pero es que veo que no ha cambiado ni la estrategia de amenazar con consecuencias legales. Yo fui a juicio a declarar como testigo (imagino que no se atrevió a denunciar a un periodista) porque Enric empezó una caza de brujas, denunciando ex-trabajadores para intentar localizar mis fuentes.
