discussing how they've had difficulties doing anything else that isn't sports, how they've been cancelling a lot things is one thing. another entirely is your thread title, lol
What red flag? I only see EA growing every year, year over year they keep growing and making billions of revenue.
You don't have actual sales
You don't have actual projections
You are just talking randomly
A company that makes OVER 5 BILLION USD is going to leave the AAA business, because ACCORDING TO YOU, they are losing money? Are you for real?

Obviously i know their sports games will continue to make bank. Should have called used "outside of sports titles" or something in the title. Also not really drinking any youtube koolaid, this is just an observation i had after watching a few games
Of theirs seemingly not do well consecutively.

Battlefront 2 didn't bomb, hell it was #8 selling game of 2017 op

Ahead of games like super Mario Odyssey
Get off your high horse

Seriously this forum has it's head so far up it's own ass sometimes.

But did Battlefront II, Battlefield 1 & 5 and The Sims 4 not make money?
Don't know how well Need for Speed Payback and Mass Effect Andromeda did too.
These are their non-sports AAA games. Besides games like Unravel, A Way Out, Fe and Sea of Solitude. And the remaster of Burnout:Paradise in the last 3 years.
I always read "triple A" with his voice lmao. I love it.
In topic tho, EA probably cannot leave the AAA business in any way. The whole company is founded on making huge games and having huge names published. It's investments are based around that, it's current size is supported by that and anything but that would probably mean the end of the company.
The way I see it, as it is, EA either keeps this up or it collapses under its own weight. I don't think that will be happening any soon though.
Kinda get OPs point if you considering the sports games as just below AAA standards in terms of production budgets,
if EA kill Bioware and Disney dont renew the star wars license could easily see a future where EA solely work on Sports Games and Sims, with Battlefield maybe still in the mix

how tf did battlefront 2 bomb LMFAO
it missed EA's ridiculous sales targets but it still sold a fuck ton
AAA games are where the big money is in the console/pc gaming market. So no, EA will not leave AAA space.
I can see them leaving AAA single player games in the dust though, GaaS games are much easier to monetize, which speaks directly to the people at EA making the decisions.

And another one, now sports game are below AAA standard in terms of budget.
Keep going ERA.

Thank you, this was the point i was trying to get to but i think you got their much more elequently then i did.
Yeah I do like the game too (partly cause it's finally back on PC), but I wish they'd make some serious advancements in the game

Are you going to attempt to correct us or just gonna continue to be snarky about it?
The quality of their games have gone down the drain this gen, but they are likely making more money than ever before thanks to micro transactions. So I do believe they will try to build that in to everything they make from now on. So I guess it depends on how you view your AAA games, the EA of old isn't coming back.

And that children, is how you end a thread.
Hell no OP. They aren't going anywhere lol
OP
OP
I know battlefield 1 did well, and i know the sims still has a contingent of fans. But i was under the impression that battlefront 2 didn't meet expectations. At least thats why it was so heavily discounted not long after launch, not entirely dissimilar to battlefield v
None of those are losing money. Battlefront 2 sold ridiculously well. Battlefield seems to be doing fine too even if slightly underperforming.
OP
OP
It did? I'll look it up now and gladly eat crow if im wrong.
A few games not meeting sales expectations does not mean the company is going to step down their game. Should Nintendo get out of the race because Mario Tennis sucks?

It sold 7 million copies in 2017. That's more than a lot of AAA titles.
