    As far as I can see, mass abrupt quitting or unionizing is the only way forwards to make a change now.

    I could be wrong and there might be better paths forward that I’m currently unaware of.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

    This is great. I’m all for whatever brings forth EA’s demise quicker.
    I do weep for the workers though.

      Yes, and no. I mean, in principle, I hope everyone is happy and finds joy in life and their job. But on the other hand, they are working for Electronic Arts and this company didn’t turn to shit last month.

    I don’t remember Saudi Arabia bombing and massacring in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Iran. The news of the bombings at the time must have made EA staffs feel progressive.

      As a small note: just because they don’t bomb other countries on a daily basis for sport or fun, doesn’t mean they aren’t a shitty theocracy that lives in the medieval age.

        Only if you discount Saudi Arabia’s proxy war in Yemen and let’s not even talk about Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State which got tons of money and resources from Saudi Arabia…

        No, I’m just sneering at self-satisfied Americans in ‘ALL’ on lemmy as always but not notice name and rules of the sub.

          So your facts are more or less correct depending on the sub you’re in?

          Sounds like you’ve got much larger problems than whataboutism, my propagandist friend.

      The Saudis actually have run assassination campaigns that we know about it. They hired American Firms to do the dirty work even.

      I am trying to remember, this was in the news some years back, 5 at least I think, reuters. It was well before the Yemen War if I recall, which has been going on forever it seems. Search engines won’t find it for me now with the enshitification.
