@Jeffool "The size of the deal will likely require regulatory approvals"
Since one of the buyers is the son in law of the King of Trumpistan, approval by American "regulators" is already a done deal.

@ZippyBot How is that news? That's the capitalist economic system working as intended.

@TrickDacy @bonenode Could Quake 3 even run without a graphics card? It came out in late 1999 and was the best looking game at the time by far.

@Jeffool I didn't know Amazon's video games division still existed.
I thought that was scrapped years ago, never having had released a single game.

@Jeffool Though no employee should agree to go into the US when illegal kidnappings by government thugs are happening in broad daylight every day, military troops are send out to intimidate state and city governments, and the former health ministry is actively spreading contagious diseases.

@Jeffool That sounded highly over-dramatic even before I opened the article and saw that that's the company that made MindsEye. 😆

They don't have a Wikipedia page, but Wikipedia does have a page on the " massively multiplayer online game and game platform with an integrated game creation system" they are currently developing.

@Agent_Karyo These numbers are insane.

If they would give out Star Wars licenses to any developer who asks, we'd be swimming in Star Wars games every year, and Disney would drown in the license fees they collect.

@[email protected] In indie games, you also typically get a lot more games for your money.

@expatriado @Jeffool I always considered it a fad for videogames. A tool with real potential for niche engineering applications, but that's it.

Seems it might be dawning on developers as well.

@expatriado @Jeffool Oh, and aside from firing 100 developers (is that a lot?), the division also had an 18 billion dollar loss over the last year.

@Jeffool How many employees will be restructured out of the company?

@Jeffool Real headline or The Onion?

@Jeffool That doesn't leave a lot of EA for the Trumps.

@heisec @de_edv Nennen wir sie doch lieber Betroffene statt Opfer.

@innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern Do these bros even herd any cattle?

@Jeffool Haha!

@[email protected] I assume someone lower down the ladder misleading the higher ups and secretly diverting funds to a team too small to appear on their radar.
