They're contracted until 2020, and aside from this debacle, EA has definitely been making them money with the Star Wars brand. It may depend on how well they recover from this, but I doubt this alone is going to be enough to keep them from being able to renew the contract. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:891301896] in EA's s...

It's a blow, but loot boxes have still been a net positive for their bottom line. Yeah, it sounds more alarming than it is, but the shareholders arent going to be happy regardless, nor is Disney. As somebody pointed out in a video I saw, the industry needs to self-regulate loot boxes now. This issue is going to result in eventual government interferrnce otherwise. That sounds good, but would amount to wishing on a cursed monkeys paw. The whole getting kids to gamble thing wont blow over. Itll keep coming up every time a major release does this. Gamers hate it because it ruins the experience, legislators see it as exploitative, and religious groups think its evil. Theres no way itll continue like this now. Evolves failure was less high-profile and basically killed what was looking like a popular new genre beforehand. Thats a bit of a tangent, but ties back into the financial part of the decision making process. Bad PR heavily damaged sales. If EA stays the course and keeps losing money, it wont take long for them to abandon this strategy for its non-sports titles. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:891312559] in EA's s...

The initial stock drop would have been because removing microtransactions hurt the game's earning potential, rather than in direct response to the outrage, but I could see that further loss of value might be due to the fact that the outrage is still ongoing, and EA's damage control efforts aren't doing a particularly good job of restoring the game's image. That could definitely cause more investors to jump ship, since there isn't much reason to have faith that EA will turn this around any time soon.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Id even take Ubisoft over EA as a publisher. They're contracted until 2020, and aside from this debacle, EA has definitely been making them money with the Star Wars brand. It may depend on how well they recover from this, but I doubt this alone is going to be enough to keep them from being able to renew the contract.

Yeah, they'll just trim some mid-level fat and absorb those recovered salaries to have bigger bonuses and pat themselves on the back some more while trying to make loot boxes happen.
