    They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

    That’s the capitalists:

    The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.

    And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.

      One of my favorite indie games was bought out by Gearbox, the corporation that’s behind the Borderlands movie

      I think this will negatively affect the game I like, but I’m happy the developers got serious money. I’ll find a new indie game, and hope that the next generation of indie devs gets serious bank by selling their game next.

        Gearbox is also the developer of the borderlands games. Doesn’t seem impossible they’ll just let the studio do its thing, and inany case they’re far from unrelated to game dev.

        Though I’d also be concerned any time something I like is bought by another company.

          Yeah, I just thought it’d be funny to imply that’s what they’re known for, like “Barack Obama, Husband of Michelle Obama”
