Originally posted by MMOGamer71 I'd add the caveat that it's obscene for what he does...making video games. But then again I think a lot of entertainment professionals are over-valued and over-compensated, whilst the more important work in our society, like firefighting, police, and teaching, aren't paid enough.
But hey, that's my opinion.
As to the OP? Molehill meat Mountain. |

Originally posted by fadis Whar are you talking about. The stock dropped a bit, same as every other video game companies did after they released Q4 results. It was a bad 4th quarter all around. It also bounced back rather quickly when it was realize TOR beat sales expectations. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/qualcomm-ea-zynga-lead-tech-gains-2012-02-02 |

Originally posted by DarkPony I'ts EA, I'm pretty sure it does require a uniform and rank insignias. I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play. |

Originally posted by fadis Only if EA is actually SELLING the stock it owns in itself at the time. Thing is, when stocks start dropping like this companies tend to buy up there own stock to sell later on at better prices. So in the end, they really are not loosing any money since they are not selling. The stocks they already own may be perceived as being worth less, but the actuality of the situation is that they have not lost a dime.

I said a month ago, after all the investor talk that heads would roll after the 2/1/12 report. Next stop Riccitiello. Sharks are not happy about the so called "cash cow" that was promised. |

Originally posted by fadis I do, and if you look at their stock farther back than a week you will notice it goes up and down quite often, kind of like every other stock. When you start seeing massive drops - 20, 30, 40 percent of the price then there's a problem. A couple of percentage points difference is not a big deal in the long run. I really wish people would stop trying to use daily stock fluctuation to "prove" the TOR is failing. It's clearly not failing, and EA stock is perfectly fine. |

Originally posted by kartool EA has a liquidity problem right now. Now anyone who thinks SWTOR is a major factor is sniffing glue, but they did expect it to be a cash cow for them. If memory serves, Pratcher estimated $80 million a year in profits from SWTOR alone. Right now, I doubt its breaking even after lucas takes his cut. |

Well if you see more people dropping like flies then it is time to be concerned. How can TOR be profitable when someone is making this kind of obscene amount ? Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg! http://www.grimdawn.com/ |
