You have no idea again what you are talking about. A lot of console games have 200+ mil budgets. Most investors dont even know swtor exists much less watch sub numbers on a daily basis.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

You still haven't answered my question on why EA stock rose despite these conditions you've laid out

so what do we look at for stock prices, forcasts, where economys have gone into the red, where have you lost money. what are you going to invest in. whats the forcasted returns from the major peeps and what currencys and countrys are losing tripple a rating. I think that impacts alot on it and most of the forcast came out more or less exactly a month ago especialy the asia market ones.

not to mention wars and civil conflicts that impact upon oil prices.

If you read you would see i have, the markets were stimulated and then about a month ago the forcasts came out. Everything else i wrote effects all markets and not just EA's. And another thing that could have effected EA's prices is the rumors of nexon trying to buy out EA.

If a person stopped playing after a month, and then spends two months in here to complain about the game, can that be defined in any other way than "trolling"? And I'm not usually one to throw the "troll" accusation around.

I don't have a counter because last quarter EA stock rose despite the bad conditions in the economy
on a further note I can tell you the stock rose the other day on rumor that EA would be bought out, however I don't have a counter on why they fell, but your argument is incredibly broad

This really has very lttile relevance, but you are incorrect. From the first sentence in the web site you quoted: "third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011." EA's Q3 2012 ended December 31, 2011. The May 7 call is to report Q4 2012 results, which ended March 31, 2012: http://investor.ea.com/events.cfm?list=Future
