The main difference between those two is the Saudi dude was hired cause he is obviously a smart and experienced businessman (look at his bio) who will work to make the games more successful and profitable.
He is a board of director, not game project director. You get the position of a role wrong. Board of directors aren't game makers, they are shareholder representatives.
If Saudi investors can elect a Saudi guy because they invested money, then so can woke investors to elect their own.
The criteria of choosing a board of director isn't industry/background/IQ/game development experience/whatever, it's business politics.
