Electronic Arts (EA), one of the leading companies in the electronic gaming world, has been on the agenda with its recent disappointments. One of the company's most anticipated games, FC 25, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which steps into a new universe, performed well below expectations, causing EA to lower its revenue estimates.
Growth Stalled in Live Service Games
EA had been expecting moderate growth from live service games like FC 25 for the current fiscal year, but those expectations were dashed after FC 25 got off to a slower-than-expected start. The company said the slowdown in the game's performance would lead to a decline rather than growth.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Also Performs Below Expectations
Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which was released in October, reached almost half of expectations with approximately 1.5 million players. This shows that the game, despite being eagerly awaited by its fans, did not receive the desired attention.
Pay Attention to Community Feedback
EA has recently listened to player feedback by releasing a major update for FC 25. This update adds new features to the game and fixes some existing issues. However, it is not yet known how much this update will affect the game's sales.
Uncertainties for the Future
The failure of these two major games by EA has caused significant debate in the gaming industry. Players may question the company's commitment to games and its sensitivity to player feedback. On the other hand, the fact that even a big company like EA can experience such failures shows once again how difficult and risky game development is.
EA's disappointment with FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard could be a major turning point for the gaming industry, as companies need to better understand what players expect and adapt their game development processes accordingly.
