Funcom Shares Dip

After the release of Age of Conan, Funcom shares took a strong nosedive, apparently amongst concerns that the game won’t retain its userbase.

Funcom’s shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange have fallen from a high of USD 54 on launch day, 20th May, to USD 24 at time of writing.

There’s speculation that, despite strong initial sales and account sign-ups, investors are concerned at how well the game will retain its players.

Although polished in the early stages, some feel that Age of Conan’s content and quality thins out as the game progresses, and that this has led many players to cancel their subscriptions. We gave it the benefit of the doubt in our review.
