Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson raised his price target for Electronic Arts to $111 after his firm's surveys of greater than 600 gamers suggested a high level of purchase intent for Anthem. Additionally, YouTube trailer views for Anthem are "decidedly favorable," Olson tells investors in a research note. He's not calling for Anthem to be a "new mega-hit franchise" ahead its release tomorrow, but he believes the game has an opportunity to become a modestly sized addition to EA's lineup. Until the recent launch of Apex Legends, EA's challenges with non-sports releases have disappointed investors, the analyst points out. He maintains an Overweight rating on Electronic Arts. 03/08/13 Wedge Partners 03/08/13 Credit Suisse 03/06/13 Citigroup 03/06/13 Barclays See Street Research during your Free Trial	25 Feb

Last year, lawmakers proposed bills, seeking research and investigations into the practice, but the government shut down and the agency in charge of the investigation held off as its employees were furloughed. If the FTC were to determine that loot boxes are an unfair or deceptive practice, the body could potentially declare a new rule that would affect the entire gaming industry. Publicly traded companies in the video game sector include Electronic Arts (EA), Activision Blizzard (ATVI), Take-Two (TTWO), Tencent (TCEHY), Nintendo (NTDOY), Microsoft (MSFT), and Sony (SNE).
