Short Pause: "An old friend stops by to chime in with his own unique take on the microtransaction debate. Is is high time we saw the introduction of the "macro-transaction?"
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.
This is really interesting, and I would love to see something like this implemented into games as opposed to micro transactions that nickel and dime you for stupid things. There's been a ton of tracks on Rock Band that I'd buy if knew I'd get a download code for a digital copy as well! All the awesome outfits you can buy in games as well? I'd be shelling out money hand over fist!
I'd want the Thriller dance from Destiny, because I can't dance worth a damn, so if buying that also meant I'd "learn" the dance in real life as well, I'd be quite happy with that!
Battlefront has got this covered.
That idea doesn't seem half bad but would there be a big enough market to justify the initial huge manufacturing costs required to produce all those different SKUs?
But I want that 50x scope...
