PC gaming is changing. Digitally distributed game sales are picking up, more Western games are implementing microtransaction models popular in Asian territories, and massively multiplayer online games are gaining more and more popularity. Yet there's still no reliable method of tracking all this. Traditionally people have trusted numbers from market research firms such as NPD to give them a reliable picture of platform sales, but with fewer and fewer consumers buying physical product at stores, those numbers simply don't tell the whole story.
Just ask Blizzard, which is making somewhere in the vicinity of $120 million dollars every month with its immensely successful MMORPG World of Warcraft.
"Essentially they're creating a new Iron Man... every month in terms of their gross revenue," said Valve co-founder Gabe Newell at a press event in his studio's offices this past Thursday. "Any movie studio that was doing that would be shouting it from the rooftops, but it was essentially invisible when you look at how it was being aggregated and reported."
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."

It's not a rental game, its one of the best shooters of all time. It was defining the shooter before even halo was a concept.
