A few weeks ago the official Electronic Arts account on social networks made a joke that cost him expensive, since they were practically discrediting the single user’s games. After this, they went to apologize respectively with the public, and it seems that this matter still does not have an end, at least not for the ea .
During a recent profit board, the CEO of EA , Andrew Wilson, assured investors that the titles for a single player remain an important part of the company’s production. Proof of them is the next Dead Space and Star Wars Jedi Survivor that they are preparing to reach the consoles and PC in the 2023 .
Here his comment:
When we think of the games for a single player, we believe that it is a very, very important part of the general portfolio we offer to comply with those main motivations.
The way we think about this is really less about what game and more about what motivations these games meet. So, we know that our players have these central motivations; Inspiration, escape, social connection, competition, personal improvement, creation; These things that unite us as game players and the creation of worlds and the construction of characters. And telling stories is really important in fulfilling some of those motivations.
Although they also made it clear that multiplayer as services are important for business:
Thinking about the impact of ESO’s financial model, the first thing we must always keep in mind is that live services still cover… More than 70 % of our business, and that has been a proven method, very reliable and highly flow of recurring income and will continue to be the predominant factor in our long-term P&L.
For now, EA has some single user games in the future.
