"EA is performing well, once again beating street consensus in fiscal Q2," said Chief Executive OfficerJohn Riccitiello. "We delivered yet another quarter of sharp digital growth, with digital revenue up 40% compared to the same period last year, reflecting our strength across multiple brands and channels."
"We delivered a very strong performance in the second quarter, backed by great performances from our EA SPORTS titles," said Chief Financial OfficerBlake Jorgensen. "We are forecasting annual non-GAAP EPS growth of at least 25% at the midpoint of our guidance, and Operating Cash Flow of over$400 million."
"Record numbers of players have engaged in the online features and content downloads for FIFA 13, Madden NFL 13, and Battlefield," said EA President Frank Gibeau. "On the strength of our digital extensions, FIFA and Battlefield are the two biggest revenue events in our company's history. Both are well on their way to becoming billion dollar annual franchises."

Now, if only they'd change the store so my bank don't keep ringing me up to check for fraud when I have to make 5 separate transactions to buy 5 soulstones or 5 x-fers or whatever I'm buying more than one of.

I started off using Workshop for Skyrim mods, but NMM is designed for that sole purpose, so does it a whole lot better.
