Today EA posted their third quarter results. They show a loss of 82 million dollars. How long will EA keep losing money? How will they return to be profitable again? How much money is Warhammer Online losing, or making every quarter?
Every time I see EA posting losses it worries me. What is going to make them just decide one day they are closing Warhammer Online? Is it Warhammer Online that is causing the losses?
I would hate for Warhammer Online to totally disappear, but if they keep posting million dollar losses every quarter they will do what it takes to cut their losses.
Unfortunately even with some current updates to Warhammer Online I am not sure it isn't already in maintenance mode, or will be very soon. It doesn't really sound like Warhammer Online is part of EA's future income stream.
EA also announced all title releases for 2011. No mention of any Warhammer Online expansions. A MMORPG can't just keep going without content updates, and expansions.
Another thing I noticed is SWTOR isn't even mentioned as being released in 2011. Is it possible for EA to pull the plug on it even though it is so highly anticipated?
