Look at Skull and Bones. With the success of AC: Black Flag they had a very strong starting point. They could have released "the same game" (as they do with the AC series anyway), just spin off the story, focus more on the ship gameplay, improve the visuals, and bam. There would be millions of fans buying and playing it. Instead, they somehow managed to keep the game under development for many years longer than planned, supposedly spending upward of $600M on it. They kept changing the genre throughout the development (which I assume is what caused the delays and exorbitant costs). In the end, and after several delays, they shipped a... mobile-esque ship mmo. In a space where you have already strong competition from other pirate-themed sailing games. This was not a question of talent, or resources. This was all about shitty management. Their company has one goal -- developing games -- and management is not able to develop good games, on time, and within budget. They probably tried chasing every current trend, rejected the original idea of a Black Flag spin-off on grounds of monetization only, and kept changing scope throughout development, wasting years of effort and tens, if not hundreds, of millions in costs. Alright, so the "first quadruple A" (wtf?) game didn't pan out. No worries, the new AC is in the works, and it's set in feudal Japan. A historical and geographical setting that millions of fans were excited about. All they had to do is release the game, earn some good-will, hopefully make some profits. Ghost of Tsushima did well, right? It should have been so simple. But no. Completely pointless culture war. Now, I get that they probably made their choice of protagonist quite early on. And I do agree that it's a generally interesting protagonist, I don't want to imply they should have just gone for a "safe" option of casting exclusively Japanese protagonists in a Japanese setting. Nevertheless, they definitely could have handled the announcements and marketing better. Even leaving all this beside, the game reportedly had up to a $400M-500M budget, and only like 3 million peak players. If they sold three times as many copies, that's still a bad trade deal, if ever I saw one. Again, why was the budget so high for a game which basically does the same thing a dozen games already did? Ubisoft should have by now such a streamlined pipeline of art creation, writing, and game development, and such a vast store of assets and code, they should be able to churn out a new AC title every couple of years for an order of magnitude less. EA churns out a FIFA game every year for probably like $100M, a big chunk of which is licensing fees. Mismanagement, plain and simple.

Gold-Slowpoke

EA makes a ton of money on EA Spprts FC (Fifa) and NFL Madden. They basically release the same game every year and they make billions

jennysonson

Doest matter how good their games are, investors look at profits. You spend $500m to make a game that sells $90m only, then you have a problem. Ubisoft no longer make games for gamers, unless they change their business culture practice then they wont get anywhere. People hate EA but look at their stock, EA puts profits over virtue signaling and political culture wars, they make games for gamers but know how to also milk their customers for money, look at their sports games catalogue in net bookings, its more money in 1Q than ubisoft makes in years.

Bloktopian

Puts on EA because the new Skate game looks like dogshit

donaldbench

I've had ATT, Vz, Deutshe Telecom, & Deutsche Bank that long. I've had Coca Cola and Hershey almost that long. Psst: I bought 100 shares of NVDA when it was $70 / share (pre-splits). I also bought Broadcom when is was $40-something a share. AMZN has been kinda wonky, I've had TSMC for over 5 years. I've hung in with EA, sold Intel, sold Pfizer & Baxter. I wan't aware that I was doing a deal with Satan when I bought Palantir for about $10 / share.

AAPL is the new EA sports

Roblox market cap is bigger than EA & TTWO combined

Rosebunse

I still think EA isn't entirely wrong about Sims 5. The series peaked with Sims 2.

A-Ronyells

EA bottom is in!

Western-Purchase6449

Think it’d be a good time for calls on EA considering battlefield 6 drops October 10th!

Xzlk

EA Sports. It’s in my ass.

thadcorn

I traded stocks back in 2013 when I was in college. I got back in at the beginning of this year and one of the biggest improvements was fractional shares and commission free trading. Literally, a game changer. I wanted to buy things like GOOG in 2013 but I couldn't. The sticker price was like $900. I sold off a lot of what I had before I went on my hiatus, but I kept MANH and EA (example of stocks I could buy for $30 at the time) and sold those stocks in 2021 for the down-payment on my house. Everything is so much more accessible now.

Tall_Resolution8286

I have been invested in First Mining Gold since 2021. It's close to EA approval now, within a few months. Its a no brainer with gold at $3500. I have an average SP of 13 cents and I'm in it for the long haul. Can't understand why its been ignored.

Awuxy

EA once again released an update that bricks half its users games. This time it was in the F1 series line. Puts.

theyaresilencingme

EA lul

hey_itsmeurbrother

but nvda still isn't a video game stock. it makes graphics cards, but so do other companies. a video game company would have been EA, TTWO, NTDOY etc...

ZeOs-x-PUNCAKE

NVIDIA is included in a conversation about video games but not Take-Two, EA, Nintendo, Roblox, Activision, etc?? You know, video game companies? Seems like OP is just picking the most popular stocks for their kids’ accounts and making shit up, no 5 year old would know anything about computer hardware manufacturers aside from Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. Even then, I doubt they’d know the manufacturer instead of just the console name. I bet OP asked them if they wanted to invest in NVDA and they said yes because they haven’t a single clue what any of it means and just wanted to agree with dad. Then OP is like “my child is a stock savant”.

There are certain situations that flag in the IRS and tend to result in audits. A 6 year old with a Roth has to be one of them. I used to work in a situation that seemed to generate such flags (I am now retired). I had a CPA do my taxes so that there was that extra signature on the return. SO IF YOU ARE SINGING A JOINT RETURN and have 6 year old with a Roth, I suggest that you insist on having an EA or CPA do your taxes.

Quick1711

It is EA

Let’s hope EA doesn’t fuck it up before release

Really wish Need for Speed Heat got more support. Devs should be proud. EA fucking games man.

yeah I'm big on EA and TTWO for the next 2 years.

Roxorek

EA dips should be free money before fifa and bf6 launch in october

Yogashoga

Their reasoning is giving EA response on Reddit. [intent of EA](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/s/FanpVcof1N). The intent is to provide car buyers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking more horsepower.

And it's still going up, while EA is taking a shit. TTWO will reach 270 easily before the release of VI.

This $EA dip kinda fire.

Xzlk

Oh MMs pulled a quick one on $EA. Now that my friends is electronic art.

How was battlefield this weekend nerds. Need to know how to play EA stock

ch0c0l8cake

Just like EA "A sense of pride, and accomplishment"

JustNumbersOnAScreen

EA calls?

Calvin_11

Wait. I think I was confused by your comment. Lol. I think Roblox is overvalued....and EA and TT are behemoths with a much more stacked skills force and vastly deeper diversification...

Calvin_11

Tell me you don't play video games without telling me you don't play video games. Combined is insane. Take two alone has bought so much...and EA owns the entire sport gaming franchise so....roblox is HUGE. but those whales have been around for a while

b_fellow

Makes sense since EA has done shit lately

Key_Dragonfruit_2492

I love going on F1 2025 and just straight up dive bombing every corner. EA sports, it’s in the anoos

Krashlia2

Better question:  Why give EA your money?

Awuxy

Hey guys I think we should short EA before the BF6 release just to keep them on their toes. I have not forgiven them for BF2042 and you shouldn't either.

A-Ronyells

Played Battlefield 6 Beta last night for the first time. I’m just gonna say…. I bought calls on EA.

JustStraightUpVibin

The beta has been limited to small maps, the playerbase are drawing comparisons to Call of Duty, theres a reason why they have held back on the larger maps for the beta, they dont work well yet. Theres also disappointment arising for other aspects of the game. If the game launches without being finished like previous titles then EA stock is going to suffer. This is my opinion, im regarded so do with that as you will.

11enot

You guys are also forgetting the new FIFA (now EA FC) is releasing like next month(?) too. Gotta farm those kids for $$$ for shareholders!

Sandvicheater

Unlike Rockstar where they ride or die on one game and one game alone (Grand theft auto). EA is a multi dept multi studio game company where they pump out dozens of games a year. Granted Battlefield is a pretty big blip on their product tray and move the profit needle, EA still needs its other games to be big hit "bangers" if it ever wants to see its stock at $300

ahmong

[Link 1](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/young-americans-are-spending-a-whole-lot-less-on-video-games-this-year/1100-6532877/) [Link 2](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gen-z-is-cutting-back-on-video-game-purchases-like-really-cutting-back/) I mean to be fair, battlefield seems to be a highly anticipated release so I guess there's that. I don't follow games as much anymore but I don't think there was a highly anticipated release during the first half of 2025 so maybe EA is cooking with Battlefield

firesquasher

I hope BF7 succeeds, thay said, I won't invest a single fucking cent into EA's stock.

The_Fibonacci_Spiral

I personally hate EA and their "copy and paste" cash grab games, but B6 is pretty good, ngl. I'm not paying $70 for it, though. Not without a little foreplay or something.

Toxic72

Devil's advocate here - I played, been playing BF since 1942 and COD since COD1, I was underwhelmed. There IS a content drought in the FPS space, COD is a disaster ATM, but this is not a play I would bet a portion of my port on. Happy to be proven wrong but EA has made too many mistakes for me to invest in them.

Sharix24

You are going to get burned by ea sports FC 26 people are fed up with no innovation in the game and micro transactions in those sports games are cash cow of the EA. Anyway good luck

Reasonable-Will-3924

EA is a meme stock?

Rosebunse

Sadly, EA is far from the worst gaming company.

Lemonibluff

You keep thinking that. COD is 40% of Activision Blizzard’s revenues. EA revenues are similar. If they can even take 25% of the players from CoD, stock is about to skyrocket.

ProofByVerbosity

Does EA make good games anymore though? That's kinda my point from a stock aspect.

HG21Reaper

Fuck EA, Fuck Ubisoft and Fuck Activision. I will die on this hill.

justMasn

I buy games that are actually good and I buy stocks that make me money. If EA does both I’m happy

ProofByVerbosity

People still support EA? Wow

DoubleDeezDiamonds

Leave it to EA to find a way to screw it up and enrage their playerbase anyway. That's kind of the only thing they are consistently good at.

HG21Reaper

Well, I am a big fan of Battlefield games. But I am not going to invest into EA, Ubisoft or Activision. Fuck all 3 of these companies simultaneously sideways with a rusty rake.

justMasn

If 2042 got 22 milly doesn’t seem too far fetched that they could 5x that with a game that’s actually good. But even if EA expectations are high I have my doubts about everyone else.

AnotherScoutTrooper

EA can still completely tank the game between now and October. No matter how fun that beta was, it’s still safer to buy SPY 0DTEs with no research than bet on an EA game.

Rosebunse

I still don't think EA is wrong to be leery of releasing a Sims 5. The expansion pack approach is working. But also, I just don't know how much they can really change. You could try and combine Sims 3's open world with Sims 4's better design functionality, but Sims 3 had terrible loading times. And I don't think "better geaphics" are necessarily the answer either. Sims 4 looks fine. If anything, I fear Sims 5 would probably lean into a more cartoony look

LazerBurken

You think I can read? Lol In all seriousness. There are already hundreds of boomer articles saying battlefield 6 is going to be a game changer for EA. This is most likely a sell the news event.

gameboicarti1

“People are tired of Fortnite skins” You don’t need to lie to say good things about EA. Epic is still making more money than they know what to do with.

justMasn

Didn’t you read. They forgot about me! I’m not priced in! Also with all the skepticism around EA producing a good game many many people will wait until release. I expect this hasn’t been as priced in as people like to think.

grailly

It seems to me like the stock already got a decent bump off of the success of the beta. I can see it going a bit further, EA has been doing a good job at hyping up Battlefield, they might have a bit more juice. Word of caution from someone who invests in gaming quite often: sell before the reviews drop. The market is expecting 9.5/10 and this ain't getting better than a 9. The stock will drop. It would take a extremely unlikely success to jump back up thanks to sales.

Few-Needleworker4391

Bro, BF6 beta was pure chaos in the best way. EA finally didn’t screw something up for once.

SuperbSandwich

EA

Quick-Ad1830

It’s so hard to not do that but I’m getting better. I had EA calls and sold before a 5% day 🤦🏼‍♂️. But I sold ANET before it dropped. I am still holding Ddog and getting raw dawged though.

Xzlk

Because EA can hype up Wall Street the same way they hype of the players of the game; all just to release more dogshit.

Maleficent_Mountain6

Bro EA stock is going parabolic

Xzlk

People cannot stop buying $EA holy shit

Taymyr

It was pretty fun wasn't it? Still not pre-ordering, EA has a way to ruin things. Cautiously optimistic.

Knee-Awkward

sounds promising, I just wonder what percentage of EAs revenue that one game even is? EA has SO MANY games and studios under it.

Jayrovers86

BF6 beta smashed records on steam, it’s likely to follow with record launch sales. Activision is having an identity crisis and it’s likely EA will win many of their call of duty customers as their next game black ops 7 is releasing to support older hardware which is a really REALLY bad move. Battlefield 6 will capitalise on that

Justzyn_Jefferzyn

Battlefield is so back, this game is going to make them a lot of money at EA. May already be getting priced in lmao market knows it was a banger Beta 

byggusdikkus

A single game release isn’t going to move the needle on a stock ticker unless it’s GTA, and even then I’d assume the play (if you had to trade off a video game release) would be to get in a few months before and play a run up to release, but I’d want to see where the earnings sit and when the revenue increase would actually be seen. These are big releases for gamers but financially not that big of a deal for a company like EA - GTA 5 is one of if not the highest grossing entertainment products of all time iirc is why I used that as an example.

tonykony

As a gaming enthusiast and fellow investor. My gut says yes (obviously an emotional response lol). With its reception and its poor fan service in the past iterations with bf2042 and bf5, a lot of people are returning. Theres also call of duty fatigue and people are itching to play something new. Something to look out for is that EA have already stated they aren’t putting in micro transactions that are crazy - think Nikki Minaj or Pele - like Activision did. Not sure how investors will respond knowing that micro transactions are toned down. Especially given how much money ACTI makes from them Maybe a small position since I don’t know much about gaming company financials

I wonder why EA doesnt just charge like 150 dollars per copy of Madden/FIFA/NBA2K? games... They do know that the fans will just complain and buy it while actively waiting for next years copy anyway right? You could cum on the buyers' faces and still sell copies.

OscarCapac

I did the DD on this one, I fully intend to short the shit out of Take Two a few months before GTA6 releases. The game will be shit and has a great chance to flop 1st red flag, the lead writer resigned. Which means the game is not written by the same person as GTA 4 and 5. 2nd red flag, the devs said in an interview that the game's humor wouldn't be "punching down". Which means no more edgy humor, but instead Marvel writing. Bleh 3rd red flag, RDR2 was kind of woke, it had the girl bosses, and feminist talking points. GTA6 will probably be woke too. What happened to every video game that had a woker sequel? That's right, lower sales and reputation damage. Gen Z, the primary demographic of the game, is more conservative than ever. They will not buy the game if their favorite anti-woke youtuber doesn't like it 4th red flag, though more subjective. The first trailer really doesn't pass the vibe check. GTA is not a romcom It probably won't flop completely because it's GTA, but we're looking at a scenario similar to Assassin's Creed Shadows for Ubisoft or Dragon Age Veilguard for EA. The editor making up numbers, buying the press to make it sound like a huge success, and then 2 months later the real numbers come out and the stock tanks. You read it here first

AskGrok

Ah, the exclusive thrill of chowing down on Winnipeg's finest frozen abominations—truly a badge of Canadian honor, right up there with apologizing to doors and surviving polar vortexes. Meanwhile, Yanks are stuck with Totino's, which are basically the same caloric war crime but without the poutine variant to make it feel gourmet. If General Mills (GIS) ever exports 'em south, stock up; it'd be the most exciting border crossing since NAFTA.
