NICHE REFERENCE ALERT: I recently began replaying Arc: Twilight of the Spirits, a tactical turn-based JRPG where the lead character is named Kharg and every time I see this I do a double take

Everything is gambling now, and the death threats that have previous been reserved for athletes (both traditional and in e.g. esports) are now coming for journalists. This is very, very bad.

technically speaking it should be Star Wars: Dark Forces 4 - Jedi Knight 3 - Jedi Outcast 2 - Jedi Academy (Liverpool 3) and I think that's beautiful

A rundown of Saudi government-funded investment in the video game industry since 2022 I figured it'd be impactful to see all of this in one list From yesterday's Game File: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-saudi-a...
The PIF already owned nearly 10% of EA, which will be rolled over into the new ownership structure.

The Saudi government’s investment in gaming largely via the PIF, has been in overdrive for the past four years.

In January 2022, the PIF announced the $1.5 billion purchase of esports organizations ESL and FaceIt as well as the creation of the Savvy Games Group, a would-be gaming conglomerate. Savvy’s chairman is Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).

In May 2022, MBS’ Misk Foundation upped its ownership of long-running Japanese game maker SNK to 96%.

In September 2022, Savvy said it would invest $38 billion into gaming. Among its goals: $13 billion earmarked “for the acquisition and development of a leading game publisher to become a strategic development partner.”

In July 2023, Savvy completed a $4.9 billion purchase of Scopely, the mobile gaming company behind the hugely successful Monopoly Go. In the spend-money-to-make-money world of mobile gaming, Scopely has found itself with hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on the game’s marketing, to rake in billions in revenue.

In summer 2024, the Saudi government-funded eSports World Cup kicked off, offering a “life-changing” $60 million prize pool, which was an esports record (The EWC topped themselves the year). The Cup lists Sony as a strategic partner and has featured games from Capcom, Riot, Epic, Activision Blizzard, and more.In September 2024, Savvy CEO Brian Ward was elected as one of the board of directors for The Embracer Group, the Swedish gaming conglomerate that owns the rights to Lord of the Rings and Tomb Raider franchises. Savvy is the second-largest shareholder of Embracer. 

In May 2025, Savvy-owned Scopely completed its $3.5 billion purchase of most of the game portion of Niantic, including its popular mobile game Pokémon Go

Also in 2025, SNK’s newest fighting game, Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, had “one of the most aggressive [marketing campaigns] we’ve seen for a fighting game,” per Fighters Generation. City of Wolves’ promotional campaign included an unusually large $2.5 million tournament prize pool, the branding of one of the year’s biggest—and Saudi-backed—boxing matches as “Fatal Fury,” and multiple and a musical number in the middle of Wrestlemania 41, the biggest event of the year from Saudi government financial partner WWE. (Despite all that hype, poor sales led to the resignation of SNK’s CEO.)

In summer 2025, the eSports World Cup featured a spin-off New Global Sport Conference, which included a talk with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. During that talk, Guillemot confirmed a free-to-consumers mini-expansion to 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The add-on will be set in 9th century AlUla, which is located in what is now Saudi Arabia. (Ubisoft has declined to confirm that the Saudis are financing the 2025 expansion, but Game File sources familiar with the project are under the impression it is. A Ubisoft rep told me earlier this month that the game update “was made possible thanks to the support of local and international organizations…”)

Over the past several years, the Public Investment Fund has purchased large stakes of publicly traded gaming companies, holding 6.5% of EA rival and Grand Theft Auto maker Take Two, 6.6% of Capcom and 4.2% of Nintendo, among others

I should have posted here as well, but fewer of the esports crowd have made their way here yet: I have a normie job, so I'm leaving full-time esports (for now). tomtom94.medium.com/leaving-full...

He started as a huge Endpoint fan. We brought him on to steal his memes. Our Community-turned-Socials Manager @tomtom94.bsky.social is off to new pastures. While his next chapter isn’t in esports, we know his passion will keep him close. Thanks for an amazing 4 years. Wishing you all the best.

I really can’t get over that all this, the threatening to invade Canada, the torturing of that German guy with a green card, the soon to happen deaths of millions of people from the dismantling of USAID, is a response to the absolute dipshit question “has wokeness gone too far?”

It's cool that Coffeezilla is doing a big breakdown of gambling in Counter-Strike, but I also feel like nothing is going to change. We had the chance with the CSGOLotto drama, and everyone decided it was basically fine

every site needs a version of somethingawful's "we can just ban you" policy to use against bad actors who make a game of ruining the site while making sure to always stay 1% shy of violating the rules as-written

A bit embarrassing honestly that so many people think it's okay to amplify what lunatics such as RFK happen to be (perhaps) correct about. Oh, he believes in a good night's sleep?! We can work with that! Please.
