If it wasn't for Microsoft, it's possible PC gaming wouldn't exist: Just about every PC gamer relies on Windows -- the majority of PC games aren't available on alternative operating systems like OSX or Linux.
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."
nonsense, PC gaming is mostly on Windows because most PCs run Windows, if Windows doesn't exist and a different OS takes its place then PC gaming will be on that OS
They should...they started there its only right they continue supporting it but no at the expense of console gaming though...cos i still want a lot of support for my xbx one...lol
This is because AMD and Nvidia had threatened to reduce the relevance of Direct X by releasing their own API with low level support.
The GDC AMD/Microsoft panel will expain how DirectX 12 can incorporate low level APIs. Lets hope that DirectX 12 will not require a brand new GPU as the new R9 and R7 models aren't old at all and Nvidia has brand new GPUs of its own. DirectX must be backwards compatible or else there will be an uproar.
Well, after an OS that actually damaged sales, and Valve saying "Fix it, or were taking the OS industry" I think that they might actually start stepping up their game.
They care so much that they leave it to third-party developers to create X1 controller drivers for Windows.
