Do you have any evidence that these games lost money?  I've not heard that before.  

We know that Fallout was a disaster, so it might be a safe assumption there.  Maybe we could say the same for Battlefront.  But, the other three, I've not heard anything more than slight rumblings about missed expectations.  That's a far cry from losing money.  

Street Fighter V sold horribly.

 

Destiny 2 had good initial sales and died off very quickly, meaning they lost those who would have purchased their expansions.

 

Battlefield V...looking at the sales of the game, one would have to be pretty naive to think it recouped its production costs, let alone made a profit.

Battlefield V was basically a BF1 reskin, I doubt it had too big of budget. Infact even marketing budget was much less as there werent nearly as many ads compared to 1.

 

not defending EA, just saying that we cant automatically assume it didnt earn money. If it didnt we wouldnt see a sequel.
