The Public Investment Fund (PIF), backed by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is a significant investor in several major game companies, including Capcom, Embracer Group, and Nintendo. Prince Salman also owns SNK, the publisher of games like Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, through his non-profit organization, the MiSK Foundation.

Salman has been actively working to increase Saudi Arabia’s presence in the global entertainment industry, successfully securing the rights to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034. He also played a key role in the PIF’s acquisition of Newcastle United Football Club in 2021.

However, it’s important to note that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency reported in 2018 that Salman ordered the assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi that year.

It’s notable because even prominent figures like Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, have mentioned they no longer use Google for searches. This raises the question: could tools like ChatGPT eventually replace Google as the go-to source for information? It’s too early to say for sure, but it’s definitely something I’m watching closely as a researcher.

As an analyst, I’m seeing that this upcoming update is shaping up to be our largest yet.
