The Saudi regime is obviously awful and repressive, but they are really only concerned with maintaining the stability and security of their own country, and to a lesser extent the Arab world. They are not interested in spreading Wahhabism to the West via videogames. In fact the point of all the sports/arts washing is to improve the image of Saudi in the West by making them look all tolerant and modern, even while they continue with the oppression at home. That's why they make a lot of concessions for international events (allowing women's boxing, for example) which they would never tolerate domestically. They are not American evangelical conservatives on an anti woke crusade. They care very little about the internal affairs of other countries except as it affects their ability to run their country as they want and make a shit ton of money. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. 30-50% of those arrested at anti immigration protests in the UK have convictions for domestic abuse. <cite>ai123 posted [p:986595973] in EA getting...
