TLDR

Kotaku reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund partly owns EA. Executives are telling employees the new partners won't make creative decisions, but queer fans of BioWare, Apex Legends and The Sims remain skeptical, the outlet says. A statement quoted by Kotaku describes character-driven stories as a way for underrepresented people to embrace their own stories, warning that restricting that outlet “cuts us off from possibility.”

@KotakuEA belongs partially to the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund now. The company's execs are telling employees its new "partners" won't be making creative decisions, but queer fans of BioWare, Apex Legends, and The Sims aren't convinced. "Telling stories through characters is often the first place many of us learn to embrace our own stories—especially those of us whose stories are not widely represented elsewhere. To remove that outlet, or to restrict it, cuts us off from possibility. It makes us small. A person could suffocate in such a small space." https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-saudi-arabia-acquisition-lgbtqia-mass-effect-sims-2000735185
