Insider Eric Jackson believes that it's only "the second inning" in the revival of Yahoo. He expects Microsoft to return with yet another merger proposition for Yahoo next year because Microsoft still needs big help in online services.
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."
Well, the fact of the matter is, the stockholders still aren't happy with Yang. But at the same time, Ichan gave up his proxy fight, so I'm not so sure about what'll happen to Yahoo. I suppose Microsoft could try to give it another go next year, and hope that with Ichan having three chairs on the board, and a bunch of unhappy stockholders adding pressure, he cooooould potentially cave in. I think it also depends on how well the Google partnership is going at the time.
Google will not let MS buy Yahoo at any cost. Even if this means Google takes a hit. Friend of mine works there, she has been telling me that Google has decided that keeping Yahoo going will hurt MS so much that it could be the start of the end for MS. Google is willing to lose millions or more to keep MS down. Only Google has the money and power to take down the big MS. With a little help from Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Linix and Nokia.
Yahoo is being dumb. They have easily the most to lose by not letting M$ by them. M$ is at least diversified. Yahoo is just flat out screwed if things keep going towards google. google doesn't really have much incentive to buy yahoo, because anything yahoo has google has more than enough money to do well/better.
Yahoo's in a situation where it can lose and make other people lose, or at least put up a little competition. I'd be pissed if I were a shareholder tbh.
Also, Google is getting dangerously close to a monopoly. They really need to start watching themselves before anything bad happens.
I think at this point it's safe to assume MS will get Yahoo eventually. Yahoo can't go against Google on their own, Yahoo is just holding out for a better offer from MS.
