I suppose we'll see. Things aren't looking so great over there at the moment and it may continue

Hope you are not confusing israel/Palestine with saudi.

That’s like saying things arent looking so good in north america because of zika in south america.

But, I agree that this sort of declarations are more hopeful thinking. As if Saudi is in any way a hub for gaming. More like a hub for gaming censorship.

No, he's right. The entire region has always been turbulent, but I would think it worse as a consequence of the modern Nakba—the Saudis have stopped recently developing negotiations with Israel, and they do not even recognize Israeli statehood.

In case things escalate even further, I would not be surprised to see more Arab states getting involved on behalf of Palestine.

I would think eSports even their LIV golf tour are going to be less than ideal.

The Saudis have a ton of money, so people will complain me. Whether it has longevity……welllll.
