TOR is going to decline rapidly if you ask me. People won't be comparing it to WoW that is for sure. Maybe RIFT, but I see RIFT coming out on top over time.
No one asked you.
Please stay on topic and don't derail the thread. Thank you.
Is it really necessary to insult others? Let's class up MMORPG.com/dicussion by classing up our posts!
We really need separate forums for every newly launched game. There can be the anti-<MMO> one and there can be the 'what general discussion should be' one. All the lamenting can happen together where each can find solace in like minded can't-move-on-ers leaving the rest of us to actually move forward and discuss meaningful and relevant topics.
This is what the short sellers are watching. EA liquidity is falling and it lowers next quaters profits. AR is the money owed and DSO is the days owed the company. When revenues fall below AR it can indicate a company that leaped to book a load of sales at the end of the quarter, like used-car dealers on the 29th of the month.
Which is why the stock is now dropping. Fear of shorts jumping on.
Then when you see reports like this yesterday : In a note to clients Friday morning, Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter cited factors such as “the continued talent drain of key management,” weak industry sales and “very limited visibility” into the trends for “Star Wars: The Old Republic” — an online multi-player game that EA launched in December.
This after Riticello made his illustrious pitch on the quaterly, made some investors think all was well, but then reality crept back in. Which is why we saw a massive spike on the 2nd and a tanking after yesterday. Its all about cash for next quater, and the bears outnumber the bulls right now.
