"These results are clearly disappointing," said Larry Probst, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While our new releases are performing reasonably well, they have not been able to offset a significant falloff in catalog sales."

Just devastated...

Woo!

But wait, there's MORE

EA shutting down isn't necessarily a good thing. They have the potential to drag down a huge chunk of the industry if they go under.

Baneblade · 2005-03-24, 12:27 PM

As far as Im concerned that chunk of the industry can find jobs at a grocery store.

I really sincerily doubt that EA will truly "go under"... in other words, now would be a good time to buy shares and make a good profit out of it next year. I think it's common sense to assume they didn't pull a profit due to the huge purchases they did in the recent months.

That'd be EA is slowly dying.

No, a company is a collective singular. Like a band. You don't say "The band is going to start playing soon" because "band" is singular. Even though a "band" is made up of more than one person.

A company operates in the same way.
