@pastaclownBoth the free-to-play 'Apex Legends' and single-player 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' helped boost earnings for the company. Electronic Arts saw a bump in total net revenue and net income over its full fiscal year 2020 from 2019, up $5.5 billion and $3 billion, respectively.
Imagine 5.5 billion and only very very few combating cheaters. This is the problem with the industry. Makes money cares none of player experience. There is enough revenue there to hire 100 thousand people and still not put a dent in that cash flow from 2 games alone that are none the less free to play.
