Abriael Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) So, SWTOR has 1.7 million subscribers and growing, and EA's stock raise 6%. Not too shabby. Not too shabby. Wonder where the analysts that were throwing mud on the game are now. Probably responding to angry calls.

Jimer_Lins Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I enjoyed the graph this morning- it went up more than $1.25 in after-hours trading alone when the earnings report and conference call came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spin Haters will attack this thread any moment. Let them come. We like their nonsensical paying to hate (as they are subbed now). They just love to hate on the game so much they cant leave. ^^ Edited February 2, 2012 by Nemmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icewinds Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Quick! Someone direct the investors to these forums, they obviously dont know that the game is dying! Edited February 2, 2012 by Icewinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that no one would have noticed his screams in the dark if a swtor site didn't quote him. Guess now he's digging a hole to bury himself.

HELhikari Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Wonder where the analysts that were throwing mud on the game are now. Probably responding to angry calls. Analyst.

Ticmoc Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 But...but...the game is failing! The trolls told me so! Former WoW players (99% of the hater trolls), who have never played anything other than WoW can't be wrong.

Wonder where the analysts that were throwing mud on the game are now. Probably responding to angry calls. Guess old dear Pachter was right for once Calling this game a winner based off of that is folly. It is the 1st month of paid subs and the hype is wearing off fast. Check back 6 months down the line if you want an accurate assessment of how the game is performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimer_Lins Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 haha people who play the game think their opinion on its quality affects share holder value. the most profitable company in the industry sells the worst games. I guess you weren't around when the stock took a dive after one analyst came out against EA stock- and it was obvious from what he said that he was parroting the forums and the TORtanic crowd. So yeah, the value can be affected by uninformed opinion, if idiots who get listened to think that the opinions are actually relevant. Of course, some of us made a bit of money off of buying it when it dived... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirmCD Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Glad to hear its trading around $20/share again. If only I hadn't bought EA at $45/share after it dropped from $61.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This. TL/DR that the game will do just fine. yup he was on the ball with that one. Any normal person that played the game knew that was the case. Its just astounding the ammount of haters/trolls it atracted aswell though. Blizzard's legion of fanboys trying to defend their favorite game? They contradict themselves in their actions. They leave WoW and try a new MMO, just to hate on it for not beeing WoW with a different skin. It is mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahoki Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Gratz to EA and Bioware for the sales report and increase in stock price. However, anyone that understands the market understands the markets mean nothing. Speculation dictates stock prices, not fundamentals and quarterly reports. They could be up today and the fundamentals could be good, but, then the derivative speculators take over and manipulate the markets. So take this with a grain of salt. The only numbers that should be looked at is the bottom line profit margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
