Interesting enough, european stocks generally just trade at lower multiples. Not all of them, like there are the NVO's out there, but usually most fthem do. They actually talked about that in the recent episode of street wise. [https://www.barrons.com/podcasts/streetwise/fuzzy-panda-attacks-globe-life/B2DD7BD5-7F5E-4D35-BDA9-F766AF30EA4D](https://www.barrons.com/podcasts/streetwise/fuzzy-panda-attacks-globe-life/B2DD7BD5-7F5E-4D35-BDA9-F766AF30EA4D) Also in an recent odd lots, Steve Eisman also brought up $CRH which is technically an european company, but does like most their business in the US and brings up the fact it still trades at lower multiples to the US peers.

TL;DR: Unity, the once indie darling of game development engine, got greedy and decided on a monetization plan so scummy that most developers switched their game from Unity to Unreal Engine and GODOT. Unity cannot recover from this seppuku, CEO is fired but developers will likely not return unless they have no other choice (which they do). I don't follow stocks that much, but here's what happened. Unity was the indie darling of game dev engine. Unity was cheap to use (free, practically), and eventually became the basis for a lot of indie games. Starred as being the engine for developers releasing games on PSN and XBL, it eventually became the top 2 engine, just behind Epic Games' Unreal Engine. It fact, it was such a juggernaut that Epic Games made Unreal Engine super cheap (practically free for small devs) just to compete with Unity. Unity had everything going on for them. Until they decided to be greedy and go against the thesis of why they were so popular. They decided to become like Epic and focus on other industries like Automotive and movies industry. CEO John was notoriously reptilian when it came to his work (he made EA a lot of money, and was poised to eventually do the same for Unity). Then January 2023 came, they started laying off people left and right. Then mid-year they decided that they're going to please the investors by changing the pricing model of Unity. New pricing model dictated that developers pay Unity for EVERY DOWNLOAD of a game. Yes, everytime someone DOWNLOADS a game made in Unity, devs pay them. This raised eyebrows, especially developers who were knee-deep in releasing their game(s), and developers who have released something years ago started questioning as well. With such a drastic change, developers started dropping Unity like a bad habit. Lots ot developers moved to Unreal Engine and Godot, an early "free" competitor to Unity, which is drastically stepped their game up. CEO of 10 years is now fired, and company is trying to save face by undoing a lot of monetization, however it's too late. GODOT is the new cool software to use, it's free and does similar things to Unity.

The market and company’s are moving towards that model anyway, especially with current subscriptions such as EA Pass and Xbox. Give it 7-10 years and game prices will jump unless you have a monthly subscription

Tesla is still the only company that has a large enough network of DC fast charging. If you try to use EA or EVgo or any other network you're gonna have a bad time. The chargers are often down or blocked because there is only 2-4 of them. Also they tend to charge slow also. Oh and the biggest thing they are fucking expensive as hell compared to the supercharger network. Other companies may have the cars but Tesla has the chargers. I drove my 2014 model S across the USA 5 times last year and never once was I worried about running out of juice or having trouble finding a charger. Over 200k miles and I've only run out once and it was my own fault (it was 0.5 mile from the supercharger too lol)

meltbox

Also, just the fact that they haven’t ruined steam with money grab ideas to make ever higher profits makes the company valuable for providing a service. If it was EA for example that won the store wars you can bet they’d constantly be figuring out how to get a little more margin.

10 hours ago, I sold puts on $EA. 3 contract, away from the money, long expiry period, delta of -0.06. Option bid-ask spread was $0.50, $0.55. My opening price was $0.5. As a risk mitigation, I placed a stop order for $1.00. 30 mins later, my stop order was triggered and the trading platform automatically bought back all 3 contracts for $1.55. Underlying stock price had not dramatically shifted. I checked the option bid-ask spread, it was still at $0.50, $0.55. My head can't wrap around this. Did someone mean to type $0.55, and accidentally place an order for $1.55 and trigger my stop order? If it's not a typo, under what circumstance would someone want to deliberately do this? Did someone just randomly push for high pricing? In that scenario what do they gain? In a similar vein, should I really not place stop orders? I know that the wiki says exit strategies should be manually, but I've been burned a couple of times reacting slowly to the market swings (unfortunately can't always be online during market opening).

KaiserGSaw

Yeah, i know that feeling all to good. Stuff like „its just cosmetics bro“ „battlepass are fine man, overwatch is good“ is such an insanity to me. I come from a time where i buy a game and own all that exists in it. I only pay for more actual content if its developed **after** an **feature complete** release for example. And this is all the more reason to shit abit (but not stopping) less on these MTX. I meant it literally, they are the most harmless we can even hope for in a world were executives love to stuff parasitic, manipulative and predatory MTX into every corner they can find. They realy are non manipulative if we ignore missing information, they have realy no impact on gameplay, they are useless and besides the explorer camp they arent even MTX exclusive and can *easily* be earned by just playing the game. We should burn to the ground the shit that EA, Ubisoft and the likes pulls and with this i dont mean us but government regulations. They literally try to pull as many children into gambling habits as possible so people like Bobby Kotick get an even fatter bonus and shareholders are happy. So my argument is that what capcom is pulling here (in DD2, not MHRise) is undoubly bad but is the lesser of two evils: one eats children and the other plays bad pranks. I hope the MTX here are just there so higher ups can tick off an „MTX“ box to keep an invalide 70y/o investor happy and nothing else because MTX are here to stay. Sadly we life in a world where you pay 100 bucks for a freaking flavor of the month „live service - FTX“ bubble that doesnt even work on launch, so i confess that i take capcoms bum stupid -only regards pay for that useless crap- MTX in an actual enjoyable game. If only to show that if anything, i only accept this instead FIFA, Skull and fail, Valhalla or whatever else AAAA comes up with. i freaking HATE MTX.

With the new college football video game coming out this summer, is EA a buy? Revenue and users will definitely increase. Adding college games will allow EA to attract more gamers.

indeed...I've experienced some like these recently...I lost all my YTD profits, due to that huge spike in META stocks last EA 

epeternally

Playstation wouldn't suddenly stop being profitable if alternative storefronts were offered. Steam is competing with GOG, Epic, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, itch.io, and a number of smaller companies yet still manages to print an astonishing amount of money. Most sales on an open Playstation would still go through Sony purely by virtue of it being the default. Do you think the App Stores marketshare is going to suddenly drop just because people have options? Of course not. You also haven't refuted my logical consistency claim. Alphabet (Google) makes Android, which is also used for cheap subsidized devices, yet no one is hesitating to argue that they should be forced to face additional competition. The principle of hardware openness is not something that should be defeated simply by asserting that your business model "requires it". Subjecting companies to different standards based solely on their per-unit profit encourages those with lucrative exclusive software storefronts to price their device just low enough to qualify as "subsidized hardware". There would be absolutely nothing stopping Apple from doing so. PC is an entirely different ballgame, and the average console user absolutely is not going to seriously consider switching. Steam Deck might peel off users, but selling PCs as consoles has already been tried and failed. Operating a gaming PC is too much hassle for the average casual gamer, especially a Windows-based one. Undoubtedly it comes with some positive qualities - cheap games, old games, a robust indie scene - but achieving a consistent console-like UI can be an entire hobby in itself.

JoaquinBenoit

They fucked up their only good IP in the last twelve years by not making Titanfall available on all systems (completely ignoring the obvious gen winner) and by not making it a regular release. People like to give Activision Blizzard flak for good reason, but EA is much worse.

bro-v-wade

EA is a trash company. I can't think of a game they've released in the last ten years that was anything to be taken seriously, with the exception of Mass Effect Legendary Edition (just a re-packaging of a few old titles onto current gen systems), and maybe the Dead Space remaster (which again was just a repackaging). They're the licorice of video game companies: No one actually likes it, but for some reason they keep putting it out there.

Buying EA puts might be a play if the Apex breach is as fucked as people think it is, especially with how dogshit that game's code is (No clue if they can even fix it considering the issue's been ongoing for a while).

There is a key word that needs to wait for approval.

Unfortunately not the norm. I personally don’t ever consider playing Ubisoft games due to historical reputation and trust damage. EA are very money orientated, so when financial harm is caused by aggressive monetization practices, they adapt quickly. Ubisoft dig their heels in. Both exhibit the same problems, but one can better identify ‘the line’.

Hour-Preference4387

Reddit is a horrible place to ask about Ubisoft (or EA, Acti-Blizz, etc.) since all the Gamers^TM here are vehemently against those companies (I am sure you already seen from the comments).

Sandvicheater

When you're a company spoken in the same sentence as other big game companies like EA, Bethesda, Activision, etc. You're judged by the billion dollar "bangers" you produce and Ubisoft hasn't had a billion dollar banger in the longest of time. They keep pumping out yearly Assassin's creed and tom clancy games that people are tired of playing.

grengrad

1. The company hasn't turned a profit since 2019. 2. The stock was trading 33% lower 18 months ago, no reason it can't go there again. 3. EA cares more about the quality of their product than Boeing does. 4. Enjoy catching that falling knife.

nobertan

They ‘produce’ shovelware with core elements behind pay walls that make their product so full of holes that it’s not functional as a AAA game. The underlying devs are likely doing excellent work, but the Ubisoft publisher ‘demands’ are undermining success by being too greedy. Their DRM software has made some titles in recent memory unplayable. Read that again, UNPLAYABLE. Like, it’s not whether you enjoy it or not, you literally cannot form an opinion on it. For a company selling products and services, unplayable is not going to be a profitable venture. Ubisoft are trying the art of ‘EA’ and failing miserably.

AssiduousLayabout

Decades of producing cookie-cutter games with a decent core story bloated with tons of repetitive, mediocre content and microtransactions might make them money in the short term, but it ruins their brand in the long run. EA and Ubisoft have been in a race to the bottom for a while.

FUWS

Its the EA of 3rd person games. I despise this company and EA. Hope they go to zero.

Plutuserix

Guillemot & co still own most of the shares, so I doubt they will sell. A few years back there was interest from Vivendi. That is also when the stock started to rise a lot. Guillemot fought it and Vivendi gave up after a few years and stopped buying. Those years Ubisoft also was able to deliver some big games. The past few years though... I can't really name any Ubisoft game that was a massive hit. People seem to have tired of the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series, and nothing is replacing them. They also can't lean on service games such as EA (with FIFA/EAFC), Activision (with COD, WoW, Diablo, now of course bought by Microsoft) or Take-Two (GTA Online, NBA). So you got a pretty outdated company with no real growth until they figure out how to reinvent themselves, and has almost 20,000 employees for some reason.

My thoughts... Boeing is too big of a government contractor to be brought down by something like this. This was likely a hit job. Big daddy .GOV went in to save their favorite weapons producer.

NVDA used copyrighted products to develop AI. Studios use that AI to write movies. Defendants will probably be added to the class action lawsuit against NVDA. Netflix, Paramount and Warner Bros. Probably hit EA too.

MediumEconomist

If it was non-Supercharger level 3 (such as EA) you would see almost exclusively non-Teslas using it at present; they don’t have Supercharger access. Superchargers are better, so Teslas either charge at home or just use those (especially when traveling away from home, or condo-dwellers). This behaviour pattern will soon change though with NACS adoption by OEMs. I think Ford is already live, so you’ll start seeing them more at Tesla Superchargers pronto.

I like Sega ($SGAMY) Bandai Namco ($NCBDY) right now. Both are trading at very fair valuations compared to US companies, pursuing a wider media strategy, and pay nice dividends. Capcom ($CCOEY) has been on an amazing run (+300% in last 5 years) but is trading at a much higher multiple (although still below US companies like EA). I have Square Enix, Konami, and CD Projekt Red top -- but only buy when they plummit. Lots of volatility in this sector creates opportunity if you believe publishers will survive/bounce back. All of these studios are big enough to swallow some losses. On the us side, I've also been following hasbro and mattel. Both are traditional toy companies but interested in video games. https://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/83550/mattel-becomes-game-publisher-with-self-published-titles-coming-this-year/ https://www.yahoo.com/tech/hasbro-made-90-million-letting-202640595.html

I hope it's the people who make their launcher and they have to abandon it. My current game shopping method. Search for game I like. Find game I like. Buy game I like. Launch game I like. EA launcher opens instead. EA launcher opens instead??? Refund game.

It’s funny how everyone is staying away from the term metaverse when that’s exactly what EA and Disney wants to support for the future.

If this becomes a thing, the only company that will survive is Nintendo and some of the innovative studios. EA and Activision are toast.

EA is now laying off 670 people or 5% of their workforce. This is after Sony just announced a layoff of 900 people in their gaming division, Tencent laid off 530, and Microsoft laid off 1,900 people in gaming

The fact that they hired him after his stint at EA should've been enough to bring down the company. Must be full of idiots.

Agreed, Unity is just a dead stock long term, especially since they're already unprofitable. Unity should have known better than to hire John Ria given his atrocious record at EA (he was CEO for 6 years and left with the stock down over 40% from where it was when he started, and EA was voted the worst company in America not once but twice under his leadership). The damage he's caused Unity will be far more long lasting then what he did at EA.

Unity was stupid to end the fees they initiated. Even if they lose a huge chunk of customers but the ones left standing are paying that’s a win. Everyone hates EA but they make a crap ton of money.

Bought ATVI for $14 around the same time. Was always disappointed for not also picking up EA.

EA… I bought it around $11 in ~2010ish. Sold it a dollar or two higher. It closed Friday at $142. Many of my early positions played out similarly. Hindsight, it has been a good lesson in patience. Pick good companies and hold on tight.

Nightdive is constantly killing it, yet their listed parent trades at 0.001x EA.

Remakes and Remasters. Quick search anywhere gives a clear industry leader and EA is >600x their value..

Here's a few thoughts. Look up a Boglehead portfolio of index funds. It will give you exposure to the US market, international market, and bond market. For your age, something like a 80/15/5 distribution would be appropriate. A good lesson is to look up what the top companies in the US of every decade were, and its completely different every 10 years. It's nearly impossible to know who the winners will be. Having index funds will always capture the top companies. Which is another point, you might think, well I want some Apple, Google, and United Health. Index funds like the S&P500 are largely composed of those top companies, so you'll get to own a sliver of all of them. I'm 31 now and started investing around the same time as you. I started by buying individual stocks. Some did really well and I still have them. But I recognize that I just got lucky. I had a few that were flat (like EA, Gentex) or went negative (PLTR). The point is its just gambling. The thing that has consistently growth without anxiety are my index funds. Peace of mind is worth a lot. It might not have the highest reward potential, but the most likely option to succeed is get index funds for 20-30 years, take care of your body and mind, and let it grow with stability and peace of mind.
