    Survival. They know the death of the petrostate is inevitable and that they need to diversify their investments while they still have the cash to do so. EA is just one of many, many assets their sovereign wealth fund picked up across a number of industries but leaning towards “tech” in general.

          If it were that simple, we would be here in the comments section of news about how EA forced the removal of the LGBTQ Pride Flag. The world isn’t run my logical people. It’s run by pedophiles, economic fanatics, religious fanatics, and narcissists. Everything’s getting worse because people in power are deciding to make things worse.
