I don't know why everyone is hating EA. There games are the tits. More than half the games Im enjoying (or going to for sure) are from EA. NFS: MW, NHL13, Battlefield 3. Plus they make SSX, Mass Effect, and Dead Space. HOW CAN YOU HATE THAT?

Damn. They need to change their policy then, with more DLCs, CoD clones, copy-pasta sports games and butchered franchises! Laughing

How can a company which does not take any notable risks, still make such a huge loss? Makes no sense to me.

this isnt such a big deal, its for a three- month period, and they made an equally big loss during the same period last year (this year was 12% greater)...

These figures highlight EA's biggest flaw - there's obviously a lack of DLC in their product lineup.

Coming soon, Battlefield 3 Premium SUPER pass - take your Battlefield experience to new, never before experienced, visceral, awesome, epic heights - for only $99.99.

Probably by blowing $60M on publicity on a game before it's release.
That was for BF3, pre-release numbers only too.

Now just think on how much they probably blew with SWTOR...

Oh ! 60M$ !?

This explain why I was fed up seing BF3 adds everywhere on the net.
I saw this BF3 promo video almost 10 times a day, and it bored me at the point I didn't even bother "trying" the game actually.

EDIT: Ok now it seems it's Medal of Honor : WF turn.
I can't watch a single game video without having to see a MH:WF add Mad

AdBlock and Adblock Plus, not sure which one blocks the YT ads. I haven't seen an ad on YT for years.

Never had ads either, but it's possible this depends on the region. Perhaps marketing on YT is a bit more aggressive in the more civilised parts of Europe Razz

Quote:

As you get further into the cycle of fixed hardware, the PC just sprints ahead. Our PC games are unbelievable. The things we can do on the PC because the power of both the CPU and the GPU has sprung ahead. We’re dealing with consoles now that were imagined in 2003 from a spec perspective and delivered in 2005. Seven years ago. It’s a lifetime in hardware tech. Eventually consoles will spring ahead again and PCs will catch up
