Summary
Where else to begin than trying to understand the wild news that Electronic Arts is becoming a private company largely because of Saudi Arabia? We live in…well, we live in times. We truly do. Join Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia as they try to understand the nature of modern soft political power, the future of EA, and more. Elsewhere, Patrick’s “finished” Silksong, at times it’s unclear if Chia will stay awake to finish the podcast (vaxxed??), and we have lengthy impressions of Baby Steps and Endless Legend 2. Plus, a fun dip into The Question Bucket.
Discussed: EA Goes Private and is partially owned by the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund 0:47, Silksong 1:02:22, Games We May or May Not Play 1:46:01, Baby Steps 1:51:40, Endless Legend 2 2:11:45, Hell is Us 2:35:01, The Question Bucket 2:38:10, Outro and Announcements 3:09:20
