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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
All that is fine, even developers' urge for making more money is fully understandable. What brings irritation and bad taste is the corruption driven by marketing gurus, I suppose. (cont...)
Gods of cash push the gaming companies into developing technologies for manipulating their users, forcing them to buy DLC, or to play multiplayer just to get another ending. (cont...)
I blame Microsoft!
If all DLCs were huge expansions developed after release like Shivering Isles and GTA IVs expansions now that would be amazing and would be worth buying, I don't like this trend of having locked content already on the disc on games that we pay £48-£60 for... Isn't that amount of money enough for a complete game?
My biggest problem is when a company announces DLC before release of a title yet the final product needs a continent-sized patch at day one in order to even function properly. This shows how much priority is given to the actual release version in terms of quality......
