Electronic Arts stock downgraded amid slowing FIFA sales, unproven game slate

This dinosaur of a company is being held together solely by sports license exclusivity and pushing gambling onto kids and addicts.
I think this is one of the stupidest stances I keep seeing from some posters and I continue to think it's pretty stupid. Advocating anyone to lose there job should be ashamed of themselves.
Good. If Bioware has to be the last sacrifice for EA to die it sucks but so be it. Its for the greater good.
Edit: forgot about Respawn...dammit.

Still feel like EA could regenerate some interest and potentially sales through quick remasters of more of their last gen titles.
Also EA isn't going anywhere, they just need to diversify their big profit streams beyond FIFA/Madden. They are still one of the biggest companies in the industry, even bigger than Nintendo.

EA needs to go through a lot of pain before they'll get better. Even now investors still have completely ridiculous expectations for their games. Only when that notion is dispelled, which will most certainly be accompanied by their stock tanking and a lot of restructuring, will they be in a position to go for lower margins and higher quality.
This is actually fucking awful, but EA has been handling themselves kinda poorly. BF II pissing off so many fans, BF V being boring and not really well received. Their sports games are a mess of MTX that are basically robbing people, and they can't do anything for the SW franchise outside The Old Republic. This is a mess.
Both EA (BF is in a bad state currently and it's unclear how the future will be) and Activision have been mainly dependent on a single franchise, considering how big they are it's really weird how they can't find some other huge successes, Anthem is coming soon though so that could change.
Outside of their ultimate team scam cash, they have nothing going for them at the moment. They better hope Anthem takes off. I hope Respawn survives this car crash.
The bad thing about this is that EA is still making so much profit and the idiots that run companies like this will always be firing the wrong people and closing the wrong departments.
Eventually it will catch up with them, but not before a lot of motivated people are being thrown under the bus.
Sick companies like this just work like that. It's repulsive, but true.

"Not an advocate for people losing their jobs or anything like that, but all these people at these companies should lose their jobs"
Blame the people who spend thousands on FUT annually and keep buying their shit and the suits at EA.
The dev's aren't to blame and by all accounts are treated well.
For a forum that constantly complains about publishers wanting to make "all the money", it's rather surprising they are celebrating the idea of a publisher getting punished for only making some money, not all the money - the report did not actually say that any of these games lost money. So why are you encouraging the idea that a publisher needs to make all the money with every ga,me to please investors? Just so you can see "hah, fuck EA!"?
wish all the people would stick together one good time and boycott Madden Ultimate team make them lose so much money that they gotta give up that NFL License
"B-b-but i googled their annual revenue and it looked high to me"
The point is the reason they're losing market share is because they ruined their games with shitty monetization and short dev times. People are glad that the gaming public successfully punished those bad habits with their wallets.
