In its recent fiscal year report, Electronic Arts (EA) stated that single-player story-based games are very important to the company and they will continue to make such games. EA CEO Andrew Wilson states that they make games for two reasons: storytelling and building online communities.
EA will not use micropayments in its story games
Although it is stated that single-player games are important, online games are the most important for EA. Earning a large part of its income from these games, EA continues to print money with micropayment methods. While EA earned a total of $1.7 billion from games in the last quarter, 81 percent of it came from online games and 19 percent from single-player games.
Tencent could become Ubisoft’s largest shareholder
During the presentation, it was stated that the production of single-player games will continue and micropayments will not be used in these games. We can say that EA’s attention to those who want to play alone is due to the significant success of Jedi: Fallen Order. Mass Effect 5 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf games, which will be released in the future, are also eagerly awaited by the company, which wants to continue this success.
