Is that even a lot for a company that large?

What were their estimated profits from nufront 2?

>$3.1 billion

That's not a big number. For jews.

>>13883188

nice, and checked

>>13883226

>>13883243

Pls respond.

No point in celebrating if this means jackshit for EA in general.

>>13883264

It means jack shit for EA in general. The people forced to make the watered down game will probably lose their christmas bonuses.

8.5? Tell me when it's a substantial percentage, it just sounds like chump change right now.

>>13883243

>>13883274

Correct. In the end, it was nothing more than a minor miscalculation on their part, and nobody important is going to get fired over this. The thing is, normalfags don't have a problem with microtransactions, or even lootboxes when they're limited to cosmetic items, but some project lead thought they could get away with one of the scummiest implementations to date, and that finally caused some snap back. They'll dial it back a couple of notches with their next major multiplayer release, and assuming the gameplay holds up, all will be forgiven.

Doesn't ea get most of their money from the sportsball crowd?

>>13883308

>one of the scummiest implementations to date

this is nothing compared to the phone game market

You even archived it, I"m so proud OP!

>>13883275

Well dang, EA will surely continue along as it has the sportsball contracts. We might see some real damage if the sheep remember this and don't buy the 3rd battlefront. But I'll bet against that.

>>13883188

is it a bad time to sell my stock?

>>13883324

Freemium games are a different beast entirely. People are fine with that shit when there's no initial buy-in, but in this case, they forked over 60 to 80 dollarydoos up front, for the privilege of getting raped by gameplay altering loot boxes and insane grinding times.

>>13883363

4 years ago, it was under $30/share

Even if you sold it RIGHT NOW, you still come out ahead at a +35% gain per year.

I have a feeling that stocks will inflate massively as BTC gains value.

>>13883356

60 or so down payment surely beats out the end amount some people pay to get shafted more

what was that one about mess defect2? couple of grand? I shudder to think about clash of clans or candy crush

>>13883376

tbh

>>13883413

>May

Also, how does this different from eg, "blind boxes" that some toys come in now? From booster packs of physical card games?

>>13883429

"real world intrinsic value"

>>13883437

Okay, but blind boxes DO have that and these don't. Wouldn't that make vidya lootboxes not gambling and blind boxes gambling? Because now it's the opposite legally.

>>13883377

fuck are you talking about, he's not wrong

>>13883442

I don't follow, there's some jump in logic going on there

>>13883398

Sure, but for your average paypig, perception is everything. They can pick up a "free" game like warframe, and be perfectly fine with dropping $100+ on micro-transactions over a period of time, because they feel like they're getting a good deal with all of that "free" content. But take that same person and sell them a $60 game, and then tell them they'll need to drop $40+ on microtransactions really enjoy the game, and they'll balk. Their perception is that they already paid full price, and thus are entitled to the full experience.

It's the same thing with sales. Clothing stores are notorious for artificially marking up clothes, and then putting them on "sale" so they can pretend the discount is far larger than it really is. Hell, Paradox got caught doing that same thing on steam, and until people caught on, it fucking worked, because people are programmed to go for the best "value" with their purchases. To bring it back to micro-transactions, people are willing to dump an unreasonable amount of money into "free" games precisely because there was no initial buy-in. The larger the initial buy-in, the more resistant people are going to be to micro-transaction fuckery, and Battlefront 2 has a huge fucking initial buy-in.

>>13883449

To gamble you need to have stakes, something with "real world value". So blind boxes have this, and are not gambling, but vidya does not and is.

>>13883458

Lad…

>>13883188

>EA debuted an aggressive loot box system in Battlefront 2, a gashapon machine with shooter elements, which tied in-game progression to premium currency transactions that cost real money

To be honest I didn't think they could've possibly found a way to make (((microtransactions))) even worse/more scummy but they went and did it. At least this bullshit is being aborted in its pregnancy

>>13883466

Your claim was that lootboxes aren't gambling because there is no real-world value in vidya, but that's exactly how the CS skin market works.

>$3 billion lost

Ouch, right in the shekels!!

>>13883475

But then why did EA catch so much flak but valve has gone almost entirely under the radar as of late?

>>13883313

Yep, gotta buy that yearly FIFA and Madden goyim you don't wanna miss out do you?

>>13883484

I literally just explained that. Read the fucking thread.

>>13883457

the thing is though while you're right, all it's going to take for that to change is three things, lots of companies nudging it towards that direction, a "just world" emotional reasoning on the part of the consumer and targeting children.

>>13883458

the "stakes" are your money

Wait until Disney decides to drop EA. That'll kill their stocks even more.

>>13883497

The stakes are your potential gain, in EA crates there is no money to be gained.

>>13883484

Because normalfags praise valve, and enough people have infested enough money into it and its been around for a long enough time that people dont think twice about it. League of Legends has it too but they havnt received any shit either.

>>13883484

because people still like valve and EA has been groomed for the main stream consensus to be the worst company ever, see every EA thread over the last 7 or so years. not saying EA isn't fucking awful, they are, and they'll continue to be so because they'll still make profits this way but I just find it disgusting how they think this little grass route will completely save video games despite the fact that they're actually the ones who allowed EA to be how they are now in the first place

>>13883508

it's almost as if it's a kinda mystery trade in a closed market or something

>>13883308

Why care about loot boxes that are just cosmetics? It's only when the game restricts functions to loot boxes, like EAfront 2, where it becomes an issue of NEEDING to pay more money to experience the full game and all play styles.

There isn't a company in the world that isn't worried about losses in billions. EA got wounded, but isn't dead or even crippled.

>>13883668

>"why should we allow predatory business practices like this to continue?"

america was build on those principles

>True, this is just a small cut, but this is proof that, with strange aeons, even death may die.

yeah nah, they'll move onto a different exploitative practice which will still effect the same people who it effects, children, people who don't know any better and whales then in ten or twenty years after the hard fucking people may scream a little like they are now wondering why they're getting shafted up the ass but they'll forget that it was them who stuck that dick in their ass in the first place and kept it there

>>13883684

These greedy fucks will take advantage of any system that allows them to. Any loophole, any psychological trick, anything they can find or do, they will do it if it means making a profit.

Child labor, pollution, hazardous materials, lead paint, slavery, false advertisement, price obfuscation, addictive mechanics, blatant lies… You name it, it's been done. Every rich asshole, every large company or corporation that has ever existed has taken advantage of SOMETHING to make a few quick bucks.

It's time that people stepped up and demanded better. Spread the fucking word.

>>13883716

>every company is bad

anon you're a retard

Oh fuck I thought Battleborn sank, I thought Might Number 9 was a flop, I thought Yooka Layee was a shitshow, I thought Mass Effects Andromeda set the bar, I thought you couldn't get worse than Lawbreakers but here we are, say it with me /v/

T H R E E B I L L I O N D O L L A R Y D O O S

>>13883226

At most it'll sell 15 million copies and that's a very generous estimate ignoring the decabarcle completely

EA gets what maybe at most $40 a game and that's again pushing it

So we'll say at absolute most they're getting $600M, and with a dev cost of probably $100M they've lost AT BEST $2.6 Billion Dollars which is about Trump's wealth

>>13883226

It's an 8.5% hit, so it won't kill EA but it's a pretty damn big blow

>>13883733

Also, investor confidence (by fat the most important variable) will have plummeted, and with grumblings about regulations being introduced that would basically slash 50% of EAs yearly income (since they make $2.6 billions from lootboxes) that money isn't coming back, and it's likely more people will sell their stock causing a domino effect. EA is extremely vulnerable to getting fucked over by regulations since they have virtually no IPs or studios left. They basically have no quick way to tide themselves over.

>>13883798

Well there is FIFA, and just FIFA, not even Madden is reliable anymore, which I find hillarious that Trump being against the NFL has cut badly into EA

Reminder that when a company's market value drops, that's just an indirect indicator that a company might not be doing so well. The company itself doesn't lose a single penny. Market trends and bad PR can drop it's share's market price, without that having any bearing on the company's health.

Too soon. But we'll take any news taht remotely validate our desires anyway, so why fight it?

>>13883882

A sharp drop like this means shareholders are losing confidence with the company and are likely to demand a change in management. If governments actually go through and apply gambling laws to lootboxes EA is pretty much dead. They'll never recover from such a blow.

>>13883243

Youre a big goy

>>13884377

for jew

>>13883546

>Why care about loot boxes that are just cosmetics?

I personally still find cosmetic DLC, whether it's in lootboxes or not, to be pretty shitty. Especially when the game just released and has like the entire game's price or more in just cosmetics ready for purchase. It's really lazy to me, like all that shit could easily be in the game for the base price and add to it's value, but they just decided to jew you instead because people will defend it as "just" cosmetic. It's not as bad as progression/performance affecting gear, but I don't think it's a good practice either.

>>13883941

Of course they will. What sort of fantasy la la land are you living in?

Now there's the FCC taking away our Net Neutrality.

Finally, good news.

>>13884686

A bit of good news before the inevitable bad news next month.

>>13884704

What would we do when Net Neutrality is gone? FCC is playing by EA's playbook now.

>>13884394

It's the compromise.

Game company say "I want to take all of the goyim pocket money". Gamers says "We know what you're up to jew, we'll shut up if at least you make it so it's something not related to the game."

Compromise is the disease of the western world, because of course you're facing people that will NEVER compromise and will always ask for more.

>>13883226

8.5% is fucking huge. Especially when we're talking ruining the star wars brand which was supposed to be a money printer.

Apparently Bungie also cancelled some stream because of "an uproar regarding microtransactions", so it's not just EA getting fucked by this. I don't know anything about Destiny though so if anyone wants to actually explain it be my guest.

http://archive.is/w36Dgf

>>13884856

that doesn't mean much but yeah I'd imagine people are looking at this whole drama asking themselves "what's EA fucking up so I can avoid that" the issue is really the hidden element. why is the video game journalists not utterly suppressing this or even sites like reddit and cuckchan?

Wait, when did Battlefront Nu even launch

>>13883286

>losing nearly 10% of your value in a single month isn't substantial

>>13883275

The graphs make it look like nothing is going on, but 8.5% is a big fucking number.

People lose their heads over half the amount.

They're probably performing some jew sorcery to keep away the actual effects from showing.

>>13885015

>They're probably performing some jew sorcery to keep away the actual effects from showing.

Isn't EA known for flat out lying to their investors all the time?

>>13885015

They're using shell companies to buy their own stocks.

>>13883546

<I'm too young to remember when cosmetics were your reward for being good at the game/finishing the game

Cosmetic progress is the best type of progress in gaming, a new type of rifle/grenade is the most lazy way to reward the player.

That's exactly why people put cosmetics in the cash shop, because it is exactly what the players want.

You all seem to be focusing on the small spurts of blood drawn from this event that forget the bigger picture.

EA fucked over Disney, by damaging the starwars brand with the "starwars casino" label just on the heels of the new movie release. The poor sales and reception was simply the salt on the wound.

Disney will likely, not renew its contract with EA.

Why the fuck does this matter? Simple. The micro-transaction system used if bullshitfront2 is similar if not exactly the same to the ones in EA's fifa and madden lines. Games which give EA a majority of its profits.

Like Disney, Fifa and Madden would prefer to have a family-friendly image, but unlike Disney, they aren't in the public eye. Thus they are currently complicit in EA's Money-grubbing.

However, now we a perfect case of this kind of behavior not only negatively affecting the sales of the game but also negatively effecting the brand of the licence. If we strike while the iron's hot and bring the similarities of madden, fifa's and Bullshitfront's Micro-transactions to the public eye. The damage to EA would be massive.

>>13885882

what the fuck

Maybe more feminism in their games will help.

>>13885950

They don't turn to social justice to sell games. They do it so they can blame gamers not wanting feminism and social justice on their bad sales.

I've been on the anti-microtransactions war drum since the industry started turning that way. It's great to hear the apologists who said "You could ignore it" or "You don't have to buy it" bitch at EA. They should have listened, now the suits are fucking up Star Wars no great loss however

>>13884856

It wasn't microtransactions that led to fan rage, Kotaku is just being lazy as fuck once again. I assume that is the kotaku article, archive isn't working for me Even once dedicated fanboys are pissed off Bungie threw out all the vestiges of fun Destiny 1. Here is a list of some of the shit their forum and even reddit, where bungie actually checks the community, is rightly complaining about:

>Random perks on gear are gone

>You can't pick what kind of PvP match you get into it is just two queues, with the 'casual' consisting of 3 game types and 'competitive' 2

>Speccing out your class tree points removed in favor of exactly two prebuilt clusters

>Still no dedicated PvP servers

>PvP is still not separated from PvE despite 90% of the player base wanting to avoid another nerf cycle like the 3 years of Destiny 1

>Vendors now accept tokens for random chance at gear with no ability to buy what you from a weekly rotating stock because fixed roll weapon and armor

>Luke Smith is still being allowed to make decisions, such as defending everything I've mentioned so far

Destiny 2 was an obvious attempt to reboot the series and get all the casualfags in, except just like marvel comics it has only pissed off the fan base that supported them until now. Game journos are only talking about this now because the lootboxes in Destiny 2 can be earned without paying money, only bungie set up a system that lied about xp gains when you were close to achieving one. After kotaku ran an article, 22 days after players figured this out, bungie turned xp throttling off. And in the same move cut xp gains from activities 50%

I still remember when they were down to 12$ per share in TORtanic days, TWELVE. It saddens me to see that they've gone beyond 100$, it really makes all these dents and shitstorms pointless when seeing that number. I really hope they lose their sports licenses someday, because we really aren't going anywhere with killing EA unless that happens.

>>13885882

This is some Shitting Dick Nipples tier stuff you posted

So, /v/ How do you think that large companies react to this?

Will they spend more money on social media campaigns and crowd control as a result of this?

>>13886650

They'll focus more on China and, hopefully, get banned after doing something trivial that pisses off some chink bigwig.

>>13885630

Is it actually fake? I don't think it'd be an actual win a match you're in, it just sounds like you get the rewards of winning a match. I can see EA doing that.

>>13886791

China would ban them anyway once they had learned to copy their stuff enough for a Chinese company to shit out a knockoff.

Is the niggercattle waking up?

Will a good video game come out after all this time?

>>13884857

How much is a trillion?

I can't wrap my head around an amount this big.

I just can't picture a trillion as anything other than "whole fuckload of million dollar assets neatly set next to each other"

The most annoying thing about the lootbox shitstorm is the constant shitty amateur stock analysis. This "catastrophic" loss in stock value is literally nothing.

>>13886967

A million millions, or a thousand billions if you'd prefer.

>>13887002

I might not have made myself clear, I know how much is it when you write it as 10^12 or 10^18 but i can't comprehend how much power it is.

>>13886761

That pic reminds me of the "gamergate cats" we had when looking at 8chan's rising internet rankings after the first exodus

You aren't fooling me you double spook

>>13886967

A trillion dollars is such a large sum, I can guarantee you can't actually comprehend it. I don't mean that in a "hurr durr you're a retard way," but a trillion dollars is such a huge magnitude, the brain just doesn't fucking comprehend how big it is. It's like talking about the distance between solar systems. After a certain amount of distance, you write it off as being, "Real fucking long" and lose the scale of what it actually is.

>>13887047

I bet you a nigger could burn through a trillion dollars in a year and have nothing to show for it afterwards.

The article doesn't list a source nor does it provide any evidence the stock has gone down by $3,000,000,000.

>>13887237

I don't think you understand how losing money like that will affect corporate decisions going forward, FUCKIN IDIOT. No suit is going to want to make these decisions anymore because to them, every penny is worth it.

>>13887300

Market value is a largely speculative value based on assets, and this includes intellectual property. EA owns the exclusive video game licenses for Star Wars, Madden, and FIFA. You do the math.

>>13887342

Does he have a long term memory problem so he cannot retain knowledge and experience from each match to allow him to improve his skill to become a better stronger player? Eg, map knowledge, weapon usage, sight lines, knowing when to retreat instead of just running forward and dying.

ITS TIME FOR A HAWAIIAN DICKING

I don't think these number mean jack shit. Maybe for the workers slaving away at EA, they won't get Christmas bonuses or OT. Execs, of course, will get raises and bonuses. EA will continue to churn out whatever and consumers will follow along. Corporations can't be killed. EA "failing" = getting swallowed up by another corporation and continuing the consolidation of corporate power to fewer and fewer people.

Hahahahahahahahaha

This is some hilarious backtracking and fucking hell is it stupid to boot, I have no idea why people continue to suck their rancid dick, there's still a large amount of people adamant it's not pay to win and that it's totally fine to have this in a $60 game.

Meanwhile you can buy Witcher 3 for $30 and have 100 times more content and no shitty loot boxes.

And you get cosmetic items!

Buy literally any game instead.

>>13892767

>Anakin

To be fair, you already have Darth Vader

Daily reminder that the previous Battlefront game had fucking Greedo as a character because they couldn't figure out what to put in so they just made a meme hero instead

Nothing it's the central banks quantitative easing effect.

It's basically "we print money to inject it on the markets and watch all the graphs go up". It's pure insanity and the reason why shit like gold, silver, cryptocurrency, real estate (in the EU, the US are still sore) are booming.

Everyone with half a brain is bunkerizing assets because that's the kind of shit that can lead to an actual currency crash.

Markets currently aren't markets. Because you have someone buying everything because they literally have an infinite amount of money.

Just the ECB alone is pumping €80 BILLIONS per MONTHS into the markets.

Basically it's adding the value of three Exxon per year out of nowhere and marvel that strangely the values of your markets tend to go up a bit… and that's just the European Central Bank.

The Bank of England, Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve are all doing the same shit.

And either they will continue this eternally (and there simply will be no free markets anymore) or the markets will correct… HARD.

>Every single technique, ability, fighter, and stat roll, is entirely acquired and upgraded through the loot box system. A brand-new player fresh out of the tutorials, can dump $1,000 into the game, acquire the rarest loot drops and immediately jump into online competition with a beastly custom fighter that has an exceedingly large health pool, vastly improved endurance, and substantially stronger strikes than the average player who simply pays the $60 price of admission.

>A base level jab will do minimal damage to online opponents, however a fighter that purchases a loot box and acquires a five-star rarity level jab, will not only have a more efficient and powerful technique in combat, but will also be treated to a host of stat increases in all regards, making their player undeniably better in every scenario.

>$1000

Summary

The game takes a massive step back in gameplay and AI. Gameplay is much worse and all the focus was on adding microtransactions.

Also, keep in mind this game was in development before the Battlefront 2 shit happened.

I work at Target and next week Battlefront 2 is gonna be on sale for $40.

Say what you want about Mark but the fact that I can literally text or call him and tell him to ban a shitposting faggot and he literally will makes him a better mod than anyone on 4chan. Too bad his co-mod is a fanboy faggot which will delete your thread if you insult Overwatch.

Because valve games are free to play and at least let you buy items directly. Overwatch, Battlefront, ect are full priced games that make you grind/pay for content in a game you already fucking bought and there is no defending it.

So false advertising should be legal, right fellow ancap?

Nice, I should buy a share of their stock and then sell it when it bounces back.

Maybe they should hire everyone back from ME:Abortion and let them have another go.

That's fucking delicious

Maybe I'll take pity on th- yeah fuck no.

There's a petition to get the license taken away from them on Change org, it won't actually do anything but it's worth sticking every middle finger up we can, enough negativity might make Disney do it to protect their IP.

Gotta get blacks to boycott EA sports games for not having the option to kneel during the anthem.

Nah, the pressure's rising, and they know it's on the way out. Countries are stepping up to ban this shit, and they're either going to pour it on and face the law for a needless risk that will kill them or they'll stop to jew another day.

It's actually worse then gambling while also BEING gambling by technicality. Gambling isn't about stakes, not legally, it's basically money input+random payout output and since there's only digital payout ie none, it's considered worse by law as fraud if scrutinized in court, as WELL as a unregulated scam gambling charge.

If these lootbox idiots head to court, they're fucked when they have to explain it to the judge.

>In this respect, it's not gambling.

Then it's money for nothing ie fraud.

>$2.6 Billion Dollars which is about Trump's wealth
