1. Kushner may be buying into a dying industry, wouldn't that be poetic.

A lot of gamers are tired of the triple-A gaming labels and their aggressive monetization. I’ve heard rumblings of a kind of revolt against The Sims franchise recently, though I’m not sure what it’s about as I haven’t played The Sims in years, but this is one of EA’s cash cows. Additionally, the EU looks ready to pass the Stop Killing Games initiative, which will significantly change the landscape for game development, live service games in particular. EA gets the bulk of its revenue from live service games, I believe. Anyway, this is the kind of chatter I’ve been hearing about recently on gaming sites. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Kushner and the Saudis bought into a company that’s on the verge of collapse. One can hope.
