Majesco CEO bails out, stocks down the drain

Posted on Wednesday, 13 July 2005 by Speed, source: Gamespot
Gamespot has word that the CEO of Majesco, Carl Yankowski, has resigned his position after being there only since last August. This resulted in a further plummeting of the company's shares.

Majesco's had previously projected annual net revenue of between $175-$185 million, and operating income, or profit, of $16-$18 million. Revised expectations now peg net revenue for its 2005 fiscal year to be between $120 million and $125 million, with an operating loss of $16-$19 million. Majesco's 2005 fiscal year ends on October 31.

The company cited several causes for the lowered guidance. It said the primary reason for losses were weak summer sales--Psychonauts and Advent Rising have recently been singled out as being the highest-profile retail disappointments.

If this line continues, I see another publisher going bankrupt.

it's a conspiracy from EA. Soon they will control the whole gaming industry and cover us with dozens of Harry Potter games. The horror, the horror.
