EA Q1 2018 Results (MEA 'significant contributor')

That... sounds plausible. Still, sending the same survey they sent before with questions referencing MP only? That's a bit shoddy, isn't it?

I got the survey it wasn't just MP.  It had one SP question, how likely are you to recommend this game to a friend or family member, and then a comment box to explain.

So, and I'm just picking random numbers here, 35% of people said they would recommend it the first time they did the survey.  If now 60% of the people say they would, the patches, time, whatever have changed the perception of the game.  Also, if people are willing to recommend it, they'll probably buy additional content themselves.

No say the number is still 35% or lower.  The perception of the game has not changed, and if someone isn't willing to recommend it, they probably won't buy additional content.

The MP portion I think is to come to a price point that people will pay and keep playing the MP.  May even be looking forward to what kind of rates they can charge for Anthem.

He'll never be the proper chap that Lord Nigel Shepard is.

I understand that. What I was getting at is that by reproducing the exact same survey they sent out months earlier, with a clear focus on multiplayer, people may get pissed and simply dismiss the game altogether in the survey. In so doing, EA will assume perception hasn't changed (or has changed very little) and give up on the title. Thus, sending out an inadequate survey ultimately undermined (distorted the results) what you were trying to accomplish in the first place.

I doubt it.  The SP question was the only one you were allowed to leave a comment on, and it was the first question.  Then it asked you do you want to answer some questions on MP.  The SP question was definitely the focus.

I figure if people liked the game they would comment and say they wanted DLC, and if people didn't like the game they would take the chance to say why.  I'm sure they got pretty accurate results on peoples' mindsets.

So what I'm gathering from this, is that ME:A did quite well! You know, I can feel a dance coming on...

Well well looks like the game sold a lot of copies digitally.

Its not quite like that as much as I would like.  The 63% of digital sales EA was talking about was for the entire company so that includes DLC, microtransactions, and mobile gaming.

With that said they do say how much of their game sales are digital in this comment.

Yet EA said that ME: A was a significant contributor in their bsn.boards.net/post/821179

Yes - mentioned right after "live services" and "mobile business" - I think FIFA Ultimate team and might have been a little bit more significant on this front.

Hahaha, that last sentence

Huh.
