Why does Saudi Arabia matter for gaming?

Because it is the only country buying the whole board. Savvy Games, backed by PIF, runs a $38 billion gaming strategy. The Esports World Cup pays $75 million in prizes. Qiddiya, a purpose-built gaming district, is rising from the desert right now. Target: $13 billion of GDP and 39,000 jobs by 2030. Then the FIFA World Cup in 2034. Everyone else builds games. Saudi builds the stadium, the city, and the league.
