Interesting Facts about Club Pogo

Just ran across this article.  I found it quite interesting, especially considering that I'm sure it's significantly more now.

Pogo Is Still Big Business for EA
link to this post :: 08/11/04
Electronic Arts is excited to let everyone know that Club Pogo, its casual game portal, has over 500,000 members. The announcement is interesting because it offers several facts about the casual game portal that confirm "casual gamers" can play just as much as traditional "hardcore games." Of those members, 75% are women that are, on average, over 35. According to EA, Pogo averages 4.2 million unique visitors each day, with active players logging more than 212 million hours of play in the last year. Pogo players average 50 hours per month of play.

Keep in mind that those 500,000 subscribers, after a free 14-day trial, are paying $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year. That's substantial income for EA

according to an Online Publishers Association report released last month
Pogo.com grew by 38 percent, to $52.8 million,

I work full-time and still find myself on here day after day and the entire weekend. I have no life! LOL
I wake-up, have my coffee and get in a few rounds of some game or another, I come home for lunch, back on pogo. I get home from lunch, and pogo til I go to bed.
If I'm really tired, I'll drag my iBook to bed with me and play!   ::)

If you notice EA's stock, it has dropped drastically in the past few weeks.  Back in March of this year, EA's stock was up to $70/per share and now it's down to $50/per share.  I wonder why that is.
