@Damo "Nothing in the world exists in a vacuum" is a weak excuse for your desire to publish a political piece on a site people visit to escape politics and the state of the world.
The commenters here who encourage this kind of political discourse do so only because it aligns with their views. If it reflected the opposite perspective, they would be complaining about the very same coverage.
Now to the point: I'm not a big fan of Saudi Arabia, but the boycott you’re talking about is ridiculous. Even before getting into examples of which countries own which gaming companies—many of the developers whose games you cover have donated, or still donate, to Palestinian organizations that in practice funnel support to groups like Hamas. In my view, that’s worse than an Arab state trying to move closer to Western values, even if it still has a long way to go.
