Anyone who looks at an investment is going to look at the product and when SWTOR was released it was obvious that the player base was going to rapidly dwindle, and that's not a good thing when investing. SWTOR is a bad investment at this point, and will be until EA get a team who can craft a MMO better than BW has in the door. If the Peek was the day SWTOR came out and then it started to drop steeply, then I would agree with you, but the fact that stock was already going down well before SWTOR came out tells me there are other factors.... Also, if a MMO with tons of subscribers makes a stock desirable then why is Blizzard stock at around $11? Considering they still have over what 8 million subscribers? by your logic Blizzard stock should be around $100 a share...

The biggest one is how diluted the pool of shares is. It could be that Bilizzard split 10 times...

It peeked right before the free time started, than people really figured out there was no end game etc.. Also you have no idea how stock price relates to company value, it's not the price it's the shares outstanding etc...

They are still making profit so I doubt SWTOR has effected it that much. There must be something else going on at EA (e.g. like the lay-offs). Plus you have other things, like SOE will be launching Planetside 2 soon. All the hype is directed towards at atm.

And those same factors come into play with EA also..... I just find it funny that people try their hardest to pin EA's stock prices on SWTOR alone.... It's sad people become so bitter / jaded that Bioware didn't make the game THEY wanted that they need to trash the game anyway possible Is SWTOR perfect? not by a long shot, but for a lot of people it's still a fun game, people need to get over themselves and move on.

there is no implication .... EA and Activision stock have behaved in this under-performing manner for a long time now. Recent developments don't mean much. Also LOL at people thinking "the worst company ever " title really has significance, its just loud segment aka videogamers. The same people will keep going back for more.

Amazing how many people know nothing about how the stock market works. So, class, here's the lesson for today: "Buy the rumor, sell the news." (Ask your classmate Google for the notes if you don't understand.)

This really bores me to tears, I am playing every day and always my server is full, just about always there is a queue on prime time to even get in, up to 40 minutes. This has not changed in the slightest since server transfer so take your doomsday theories and shove them.
You have been Pyroteched!
