BizCast Ep. 6: EA, Financial Shortfalls, and the Triumphs of Xbox

On the sixth episode of the GameDaily BizCast… there is a LOT to talk about. Amanda and Mike dig into EA financials, Apex Legends, and some problems around Anthem’s launch (no, not because the game is bad). They pull apart the latest financials for Take-Two, 2K, and Rockstar Games. (And then there was Square Enix… yikes.) And, finally, the triumphs of Xbox and Microsoft and their commitment to Gaming For Everyone.
