@faderp @EA @SarahEToms Looks like they added another 5B over the weekend.

@faderp @EA @SarahEToms At ~$50B, EA actually looks cheap: ~$93 per account or $250 per MAU. Netflix ~$975/sub, Roblox ~$288/DAU. Player relationships are still undervalued

Today's news about Electronic Arts (@EA) is a nice validation of all the ways I've been praising them for many years -- thanks to the great work started by Zachery Anderson (@Zachelicious) nearly 20 years ago. Back in 2018, when Sarah Toms (@SarahEToms) and I wrote "The Customer Centricity Playbook" (lnkd.in/eZnRU7A), we emphasized EA's long-run success, in part by showing the rise in its market value. It is instructive to see that the consistent trend shown in the book has continued since then. This is #CustomerCentricity in action. Plenty of people dislike EA, and that's OK. More importantly, there are plenty of gamers who love them. And the number of them (and the #CustomerLifetimeValue they bring) continues to increase steadily. We might not be able to see these numbers any more (as EA goes private in the largest leveraged buyout in history), but I'm confident that CEO Andrew Wilson will stay focused on his customer base as carefully and effectively as he has done for over a decade now.

@faderp @EA @SarahEToms Thanks Peter — great to see EA’s success through the long arc of customer-centric thinking
