I think After hits such as Mass Effect 2 and Dragon age, EA can do anything they want and make money.
Or fall back on the Madden franchise.

EA made very, very little money last year. EA makes so little money that most investors really don't want anything to do with them.

Yeah, but let's be honest. It was a bad year for game sales. Unless your name was Rockstar or Activision, you ate it or just broke even. But, yeah, I see your point.

EA has never really made much money. And, if memory serves me right, in 2008 they actually lost money. EA has high revenue but almost no profit. They are turning like 4%. Just to compare against another game company, (albeit one that produces a completely different type of game, in a different industry, and on a much smaller scale) Games Workshop turns a yearly profit of over 12%. Which is kinda lowish I guess, but really good for a game company.
It would be interesting to see Valves numbers, but they are still a private company. :/ They do use EA to print their hard copies, though. Not that anyone uses the hard copies.

Stock in video game companies is mostly pretty awful even the blockbuster Activision-Blizzard with COD and WOW, there are much better things to invest in

EA stay the hell out of it or we won't buy it - we as in the hard core fans.
