[TS] EA posts $381 million loss, blames MoH for "soft" holiday outlook

post #1 of 110

EA has posted a loss of $381 million on revenue of $711 million for its fiscal second quarter ending in September, down from a $340 million loss on revenue of $715 million in the year-ago period. Despite those seemingly grim figures, the company's performance exceeded analysts' expectations.

That doesn't seem to be the case for the third quarter, however, as the publisher believes it will post a profit of $0.50 to $0.60 per share on revenue of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion, which falls short of the profit of $0.71 per share on $1.38 billion in sales that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected.

Make a good game that doesn't require DRMOrigin, people will buy it. Nobody else to blame but yourselves.

I know PC Gamers are the minority, but if EA actually stopped making generic crap, stopped forcing PC Gamers to use Origin (we like options, Green Man Gaming, Steam, etc.) and stopped giving us terrible ports the majority of us may actually buy their games and support them. To be honest though that will never happen.

The irony is that Green Man Gaming, Steam, and Origin all use their own clients.
