(Reuters) -Shares of Electronic Arts sank more than 15% on Thursday after the “FC 25” videogame maker cut its annual forecast, sparking fears over the future of the soccer franchise that has been a cornerstone of its gaming empire. In-game spending on the company’s soccer franchise slowed in the holiday quarter after two years of double-digit growth, EA said on Wednesday, blaming its latest “FC 2025” title that debuted in September. EA’s soccer franchise clinched one of the top selling games of 2023 with “FC 24”, according to Circana data, after the end of a three-decade partnership with FIFA in 2022 that led to a rebranding of FIFA games to FC.
