Sim City seemingly was a disaster right? Not so fast. Is there an upside for EA?
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
If they learned anything at all...
I know right.
I also highly doubt EA learned anything.
Great story, and EA will do it all over again and again.
I am done with EA games...
Sim City was a wake up for sure. Than with all this gamers embrace Micro Transactions what a load of shat.
Between EA and Activision they are wrecking gaming... with play to win games and subscription fees...
You watch Cod will one day be based on a monthly fee...
This is just insane... special when they are making record profits..
The only thing they learned from SimCity was that people will buy terrible, stripped down games that are buggy as all hell... in addition to being screwed up with DRM nonsense.
Do you think EA looked at this debacle, particular the DRM, and said 'We shouldn't do that again'?
