EA games and Apex Legends

Just a quick glance:

My son is level capped and loves Apex. It's significant (IMO) as he's already nearly Global Elite in CS:GO and owns ~$3K in CS:GO skins. They garnered something like 10MM players in the first 4-5 days. I would think that popularity is yet to be reflected in the shares.

I've watched him play and it looks like Overwatch meets COD. Obviously his favorite game right now, and he plays Apex, CS:GO and Siege. He is a phenomenal CS and Siege player. He doesn't play PUBG much, but he's had 32 kills in a single game while level-capped (no bots).

It will be interesting if a secondary market develops for Apex, like CSMONEY (for CS:GO). If so, the game has staying power.

We were talking in the car and my kid stated that the Fortnite guy should have sold the company for $3B when he had the chance. The life cycle of these games is getting shorter and shorter, excluding CS:GO which benefits from the Euro-Majors.
LOL it sounds like your pretty into the game yourself!! I was thinking of just going long the stock, however, do you see any interesting spreads here? Maybe short SPX calls vs long EA calls?

I haven’t looked. I don’t play, but I am forced to watch him play. He’s got 26 wins on Apex Legends.
 
I’ve been playing it. Won’t be going professional anytime soon lol. Keep telling myself all I need to do is get super awesome at a video game, start a stream, get people to watch it, and then I can rake in 20 million plus a year from YouTube and twitch like Ninja for instance.
