A monthlong slide in Electronic Arts’ stock price, which mainstream financial press has attributed to the Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot box controversy, has caught the company’s attention, and is likely to spur changes to EA’s microtransactions approach.

But one prominent analyst says any changes won’t come imminently. And, it must be said, EA’s stock price today is still almost $25 above what it was a year ago.
