A small group of protesters opposed to the Saudi Arabia-led takeover of Electronic Arts staged a “raid”—in the metaphorical MMO sense of players teaming up to confront a powerful boss—at EA headquarters yesterday, demonstrating in front of the Madden field at the center of the company’s campus before attempting to present a petition signed by…
“Press F to pay respects” is out and now it’s “Press A to run away,” which is the very first thing I do in vampire-themed farm sim Moonlight Peaks.
