Electronic Arts misses bookings estimates as 'Battlefield' engagement fallsVideogame publisher Electronic Arts missed quarterly bookings estimates on Tuesday, weighed down by a post-launch drop-off in engagement for its "Battlefield" franchise and sluggishness in its mobile business. While "Battlefield 6" enjoyed a strong launch last year, the title has struggled with a slackening in player engagement, raising concerns about its long-term live-service revenue potential.
