This has nothing to do with the stock prices. It's simply late stage capitalism chasing unsustainable growth while spending far too much to publish and develop, and expecting each release to break sales records *every time*.
So... Ok, maybe a little blame, but not all of it.
I might sound really stupid with this, but they seem to REALLY fear plateauing when it really doesn't seem that bad. Which is more sustainable: Maintaining a level of quality or overwhelming themselves trying to outdo themselves with each new project?
These companies stay afloat via very low interest loans. They get those loans by having a high stock price, which they maintain via infinite profit growth. If they plateau their stock goes down, they lose the ability to borrow money, and go into a death spiral.

almost like if you let your creatives be creative instead of chasing whatever you think the shareholders want, then setting realistic expectations and budget for your game actually works huh. Who'd have thought it. Maybe EA will learn something fro-- I'm sorry, I can't finish that sentence
Andrew has overseen his company torch dozens of well known game franchises one after the other. Now they’re betting the farm and putting nearly every studio they own on the next Battlefield game, which they also almost killed

Well WHOOP-DEE-DOO so much for that, right? That philosophy doesn't account for when companies that get so big that they become nigh untouchable.
Sp I just checked, and yes, it is "fortnite money" now. Cheeseless crisp, it makes billions.
