EA Stock Prices Drop After Delaying DICE Projects

LukeFri Dec 06, 2013 2:07 am

Just yesterday we reported that Electronic Arts forced DICE to stop work on future projects and focus on fixing Battlefield 4. While that announcement is music to the ears of frustrated gamers it is a disappointing, unsettling move in the eyes of investors. After EA made the delays public knowledge the company’s stock dropped in value by 7.5%. It isn’t a huge loss, but it’s a loss nonetheless.

According to market analysts Battlefield 4 (along with its premium upsell) isn’t selling as well as planned. Poor reviews and word-of-mouth complaints from gamers that already own the game have stunted the sales of the title. At this point in time it is assumed that Electronic Arts may not reach their quarterly forecast in December.

I found it odd that Ghosts has commercials on just about every network, but not a whisper from BF4.

They had a lot of commercials when the beta was out and leading up to the game. You would think they would be doing some for Christmas.

I know we can't support a Ghosts Server but on the shelves at walmart where I work, Ghosts is almost always empty and and Battlefield 4 is always in over stock bins in the back because nobody is buying it. Hope they fix it.
