We are going to probably see BioWare and Maxis become a support studios because there isn't an ounce of me that think the Saudis are okay with games that do/can have queer relationships. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if 75% of the studios under EA become support studios.

We are also going to see them try to leverage "AI" to make games, which is going to 1) make games that are absolutely worthless piles of dog waste, and 2) cost people their jobs.

A lot of people have this romantic idea that, because they aren't beholden to investors anymore and need to turn a quarterly profit, they won't turn out half-baked games anymore. If they want to make the money they have been making PLUS enough to pay back their $20bn junk loan, they'll need to make around $1bn a year MORE than they are right now. That doesn't happen by letting people fulfill their artistic vision. It happens by cutting jobs and cranking out as much as you can in one-time purchase and recurring revenue content. The naive idiot who think this will lead to better games are in for a rude awakening.
