Live services – new monetization streams
Live services are one of Electronic Arts' best-performing revenue segment, reporting a one percent year-on-year-growth compared to 2023. This is hardly surprising, as gaming companies aim for players to engage with their games and services over longer periods of time, and purchase additional content designed to provide value top layers and extend and enhance gameplay. EA’s most popular live service is the extra content purchased for the Ultimate Team mode associated with its sports franchises Madden NFL and FIFA. The company stated that FIFA 23, EA SPORTS FC 24, Apex Legends, EA SPORTS Madden NFL 24, and The Sims 4 were the top revenue drivers for 2024. However, in 2024, full-game downloads were the segment with the biggest revenue increase.
Judging by the playerbase and myself who put in a lot of effort for feedback when they turned a once great game, I would even say the best game, to whatever hellspawn they created now. My Apex Legends died in season 17. I no longer recognise whatever they call is Apex Legends. Judging by the amount of decline in players I would not be surprised if the game will be cut out of support soon because of the smaller earnings. Once that is cut down more than it has been more players will soon fade away too.
