GotGame: You go into your local game store and buy the latest title that you’ve waited almost 2 years for. After multiple delays and now rave reviews, it’s in your hands, and you’re as excited as Hitler in disguise at a Bar Mitzvah. Ok that was kind of terrible, but whatever. You take it home and turn on your console of choice, and pop in the game disc. It loads, and you’re shaking. You’re SO excited. Then…the following message pops up:
“Your system is not permitted to run this game. Your graphics card is out of date. Please update your graphics card to play this title.”
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."
I have no idea what I just read :D
I hate that picture...it's so arrogant
Who approved this? I'm not upgrading my browser to read some stupid article.
dude hair is blowing in the wind in the pic. thats silly with some washed up and beaten dude who is down in the dumps.
"The only time you have to update your console is when it breaks or a new one comes out, so every 10 years now."
I nearly freaking fell out of my chair laughing at this one. The ten-year cycle marketing Kool-Aid has certainly come full circle.
"So go ahead and play what you want on anything you want, but don’t assume one is better than the other. They’re the same in terms of money."
Um. You haven't heard of the Humble Bundle or the Steam Sales, have you? Or the somewhat-frequent $50 triple-a releases...
