LOL this video is so bad...yeah EA totally said "BFV only (in snarky voice) sold 7 million"...like...I'm sorry but he sounds like a little kid. EA literally never said anything like that.
I'm fine with almost all his stuff but this is just "corporations are evil/rich people are evil/capitalism is evil/America is evil nonsense"...there is ZERO here based in truth, he is blatant lying about why investors sell stock and why investor reports are worded a certain way...and guess what...alot of it is law! Like, if Battlefield V sells less than expected, you legally have to be clear about that if it is part of your earnings.
An investment report, or investors saying "sales are not where we want them" does not mean they are saying "this game SUCKS" or "OMG this stock is a joke I want stock that never drops!"...literally NO ONE says that. When an investor sells stock, it's because all the investor reports for ALL BUSINESSES for the 3rd quarter comes out in January...so, they often have you know...OTHER STOCKS that they might want to invest in. There aren't any "gamer investors" that only invest in games, and then sell their stocks because they are mad that BFV wasn't as critically acclaimed as last year's. Investors change companies more than you change your underwear! Which...is how you have constant growth. No company is laying off people because of a temporary stock drop hours after an investment report was released. If that was so, we would be in a permanent recession.
Don't get me started on his comments on a CFO getting paid...like what does that have to do with anything, one doesn't affect the other. And then praises Apex, which has lootboxes and other stuff.
