I agree with most sentiments ie hoping gamers get better bang for their buck and the predatory tendencies...however the economic explanation and ideas are over simplified. If you look at the stock market in general it's a downward trend look at all the stocks in different indexes NASDAQ/SNP. Just like how EA lost value in 2008 and did not regain upward momentum for consistent period until 2015-ish when it rose in price pre recession, this is more the trend in general of market as whole which is "predicted" by all people that know economics in general (as there is recession every 10-12 years). Maybe there is more to the EA/video game companies that are publicly traded ie what you suggested, but most of it really is the market correcting, the interest rates, and investors getting ready for slowing economy.,(reply>), Thank you! I was going to make the exact same post. I've been seeing a lot of these youtube vids lately about how the AAA market is crashing. Almost all of these videos are trying to draw causal connections based on poor research and poor reasoning.<br><br>The NASDAQ has dropped 20% since its highs in September. Amazon's stock has dropped from 2,039 in Sept. to 1,377. Does this mean Amazon is crashing also?<br><br>None of these videos even bother to look at the total revenue generated by companies to see if it has fallen since 2017 in order to substantiate their conclusions. It may be that the stock prices have fallen, for a number of difference reasons, but the question is whether consumer spending on these products have fallen. Unless consumer spending has also dropped, it's difficult to push the narrative that people are "fed up" with the AAA gaming industry.<br><br>As you mention, these are larger market trends, which probably have nothing to do with people's sentiments regarding these companies. To make that claim we would have to see numbers regarding total revenue for the year.
