CHA-CHING!

EA Sports seemingly has a money printer on their hands with “College Football 25,” as the highly anticipated video game appears to be making the company straight bankroll here in its Early Access period.

People who are interested in playing the game a few days ahead of its Friday, July 19 release can do so by paying $99.99, and the earliest that you were able to do it was Monday afternoon. And you better believe a crap load of people (including myself) took full advantage — it’s been 11 long years after all!

And as a result, it appears that EA Sports is making a massive killin’.

Bordeaux, a popular personality in the realm of “College Football 25,” posted a screenshot on Twitter that showed over 713,000 people online Monday playing the game.

If you do the math with the 713,000 figure and the $99.99 price tag, that means that EA Sports pulled in somewhere around $71,300,000 on just the first day of Early Access, which is absolutely insane!

I personally haven’t been able to play much yet, though that will definitely be changing today, but from the little that I did play, I can tell this game is gonna be incredibly epic.

I’m about to hit the sticks now … y’all stay tuned for both a review that I’m doing for the Daily Caller and a giveaway on Twitter where somebody will win a free copy of the game.
