I just signed a petition for Congress to block the EA buyout. Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s company are in the process of buying out EA for $55 billion. People are concerned that this might have negative effects on things like the queer-friendliness of The Sims. actionnetwork.org/petitions/bl...

Block the EA Deal EA’s $55 billion buyout will give foreign investors and Private Equity massive control over gaming and turn the worst anti-consumer practices, like loot boxes and aggressive microtransactions, into overdrive along with even more layoffs and studio closures. But this deal cannot go forward without US government approval and, with enough public scrutiny and pressure, regulators can block it. By signing, you’re helping defend gamers, protect consumers, and demand a fairer future for the industry. This campaign is for every gamer who believes that gaming actually makes our lives better, and it’s our job to protect it from corporate greed. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/block-the-ea-deal-2?source=direct_link&
