Employees at Electronic Arts said they felt disgusted by Saudi Arabia’s acquisition of the company, citing its poor record towards its citizens and human rights.

Several employees told the media: “We are ethically uncomfortable that we have become involved in whitewashing the Saudi regime through video games. It is extremely disgusting.”

The platforms of the US-British group Informa TechTarget have carried extensive coverage of EA employees’ views and their feelings of disgust since ownership of their company shifted to Saudi Arabia.
