You should already be boycotting Saudi Arabia tbh.

Having Nintendo stock shouldn't influence your mind one way or the other.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has bought more shares of Nintendo, increasing its holdings to own 6.07% of the Mario company, according to Reuters. The PIF previously owned 5.01% of Nintendo.

The PIF also owns sizable stakes in companies like Capcom, Nexon, Koei Tecmo, Activision, EA, and others. The investment fund is putting money into video game companies looking for a return on investment thanks to the forecasted growth in the video game space.

The PIF also owns sizable stakes in companies like Capcom, Nexon, Koei Tecmo, Activision, EA, and others. The investment fund is putting money into video game companies looking for a return on investment thanks to the forecasted growth in the video game space.

The PIF is making these investments through its Savvy Gaming Group (SGG) division. The Saudi government's investments in the video game space have not been without controversy, due in part to Saudi Arabia's position on human rights. In 2018, US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who criticized Saudi Arabia's government, entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and never left. The CIA later concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered Khashoggi to be killed.

In 2022, Embracer Group took $1 billion from the Saudi government and defended the move, saying the group support's Embracer's "vision, strategy, and leadership."

The PIF also owns pieces of Microsoft, Disney, Uber, Google, and Amazon, among numerous other companies. The group is also a backer of the controversial LIV Golf series and is rumored to announce an acquisition of the WWE soon.

Anything they buy is controversial. But no one every said capitalism was ethical, so none of these companies give a fuck. They're all in cahoots and will sell out anyone for any price.

these guys are trying to destroy the west by taking over its cultural stuff, such as soccer, golf, movie studios, etc.

You've seen Messi wearing the Saudi robe-thing after winning the world cup. Get ready for arabian hat mario.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


It's an investment group buying stocks on the stock market. Nintendo is actually protected by the Japanese government as a national asset, so it's not actually possible for foreign investor to seize any actual control.

Like, I think people may be misrepresenting the story if they think that Nintendo cut some kind of deal with Saudi Arabia. All that happened is the Saudi Arabian group pulled together a bunch of money and bought enough stock to increase their stake by 1%.

What would you even have left to enjoy in life if you tried to boycott every single company that the Saudis invested in? Plus it's not like they actually have a majority stake in all of these companies to the point where they can actually exert a notable amount of control. I would only boycott companies that they actually have a majority in to the point where they could control what those companies do and how they operated.

Okay maybe I shouldnt have said ONLY one but Sony's capital is literally been moved to America. They can and do try to bar games from the platform based on western ideals. Games are always censoring cleavage or anything deemed too saucy or kept from the platform until certain changes are made even for japanese only releases.

But no I am not going to just "shut the fuck up", video games are one of my few passions in life and I wont just let you step on me because you dont want to hear an opinion thats contrary to your own.

Yeah man, video games have basically been destroyed because of handful of young looking characters in obscure games wore slightly more clothing.

Remember when Sony censored Nier Automata and MGSV? Me neither.

A terror-state starts buying into video games and your concern is America.

Yeah, man. Everyone knows women in America are stoned to death for showing skin or hair in public.

I'm sorry you can't masturbate to EVERY game you play. You must feel like you essentially live in the Middle East.
