EA to Release Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results on May 7, 2012

Anything "could" be a portent of doom, that doesn't mean that it will be.

did someone just say 2012?

My reply was

In comparison to other stocks over the same period they have taken a much larger hit. If you were a stock holder and don't think that warrants an explanation that's great. Myself personally think it would warrant an explanation, and the assertion that I made still stands.

Nothing gets by you

You're a glass half full guy. Optimism. I get that.

There's plenty of glass half empty people here too. Pessimism. That's understandable.

I'm a guy who wonders if the glass is being poured into (half full) or drunk out of (half empty) before I make a determination. That's realism, or perhaps just good old-fashioned pragmatism.

In the case of SWTOR, I think stagnation and the subsequent rush to grab and retain players (which the team admits to currently doing) are a sign that the game is in uncharted waters. Who knows what's over the horizon?

So what are you going to do if the report goes on without a hitch and an expatriation isn't asked for or given ?

No..no don't tell me I'm actually afraid to know.

Okay that's cool I grock that...but where you see Sea Monsters I see a Brave new world...lets just wait and see who's right.

i think this games population could exceed 3mil in the next two years, depending on their marketing overseas and their marketing here at home, it will however takes some brilliant marketing on their part to do that. I think they could exceed that number if they opened up there cross digital distribution to other distributors as well

I agree the bones are there and yes cross digital distribution would help that happen,

Uhhh the question that started this thread is what is your prediction, my prediction is that they will have some explaining to do for their drop in stock value.

It is of my opinion that they should be offering an explanation to their shareholders. The fact that share prices are at around 60% over the same period that other shares are down 12% does beg at the very least the raising of an eyebrow.

If you don't think so great, that's your opinion too, but my opinion is no less valid, and my point/prediction was based on factual information. The basis of this thread was what is each persons prediction. Mine is they will have some explaining to do for their shoddy stock performance, nothing more, nothing less.
