@ThisGameBlows I mentioned in a previous thread that fortnite is majority owned by the owner afaik, ea has shareholders. The dividends must be blinding the shareholders at the moment, as its them the management is answerable to in the long run. Why are the shareholders oblivious to this obvious business flaw?
@OldTreeCreeper I'm not sure. The only explanation I can come up with is that EA's CEO is spinning them tales of how well they're doing when they receive those massive fiscal bonuses which came from the release of an unfinished product. So basically they make money, and the playerbase gets the short end because they've already paid them their money, for an unfinished product that will never get the support it needs to fix it and deliver on it's promise. Kind of like Anthem and now, Battlefield. It's actually extremely shady in terms of business practices and I'm surprised severe legal action hasn't been taken yet. It's essentially theft. My personally assessment is that Andrew Wilson CEO @ EA is actually quite terrible at his job, and is the main reason EA has nothing sustainable at the moment besides Apex, which he had nothing to do with. The fact that EA doesn't have a list of sustainable IP's right now only illustrates the man's lack of creativity and knowledge when applied to the gaming industry. He's just a suit. And unfortunately these egregious tactics have dismantled any-and-all credibility with the developers as they have no say if he say's "release an unfinished product." Which is all he can do along with loot boxes. So my guess is he's spinning tales with the shareholders and as long as they see money, they don't care. Even if that means going under as a company. They are okay being the frog in the boiling pot, apparently. Ineptitude is the true killer-Caustic.
