I feel that the Saudis purchasing EA is specifically a good sign that future EA games won't be profit-focused at the expense of quality.
I was talking to the GP and P comments in regards to the company's focus. They discussed the problems of current EA and whether future development would be increasingly profit-driven at the cost of quality.

I suspect that EA was not purchased with profit as the primary motive, and that decreasing quality further would run counter to their aims.
I think their motives are more sinister and subversive. I'm not sure what the relevant equivalent term to (e)sportswashing is for this. Gamewashing or whatever. I think buying EA is going to be a prominent example of it.
My comment included calling Saudi Arabia's Crowned Prince Mohammed bin Salman by his nickname Mohammed Bonesaw. This refers to his alleged direct order to assassinate and butcher Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
The 15-person Saudi agent hitsquad used a bonesaw to dismember Khashoggi, hence the nickname.
This makes clear from tone and context that I do not feel that the Saudis buying EA is a good sign overall.
I realise that relying on tone and context clues to remove ambiguity is not good accessible writing so I apologise for that.
PIF bought the English football club Newcastle ~4 years ago, and have raised season ticket prices by 15% since then. They have capitalists at the helm who don't care about soft power.
