This has been an ongoing debate ever since Mortal Kombat hit the gaming scene back in the 90s. Since then there have been school shootings where video games were targeted as the cause and countless studies that claim there is some link between video games and violence. So what is the link if any? We at Pixel Judge are trying to find an answer.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
brb, gonna go commit a crime and blame it on video games.
one point in time people thought pinball machines made kids into ruffians.
Video Games are just the current scapegoat. Rock Music was blamed before. TV as well. Even many books were blamed for everything. These people can't realize that they are at fault and instead of admitting that they are wrong they find something to blame it on.
Also, if over 100 million people play shooting games and 20 of these people go on a violent rampage, how large of a percent is that?
But then again we live in a world where Mass Effect has full frontal nudity and the iPhone 5S will "kill" the PS4 and Xbox 720. God I hate the media.
I'll say this, it is possible that certain individuals who are prone to violence, play violent games and can then move on to commit violent crimes in the real world.
Whether or not the violent games are a significant contributing factor in these particular instances of real world violence however, is still widely debatable.
But that's about as much as I care to comment on this tired old argument.
Yes.
After 15 years of playing videogames i've raped and killed countless of children, raped their moms, obliterated over 9000 schools, etc
Im pretty badass
