As you’ve probably heard by now, Sony released their list of upcoming free PS4 titles for PlayStation Plus subscribers yesterday. If you haven’t, then prepare yourself for disappointment.
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
I like seeing indie games, don't see what all whining is about. I wouldn't want a AAA one all the time. Give smaller games a chance. Look how well Rocket League did when it is was free.
Both offerings for next month are severely lacking.
In my humble opinion, since PS Plus is essentially mandatory for gamers to game online (scam) then yes, they can improve the service. They do offer a variety of experiences so in most cases there are gamers who can gain a few titles that they like and enjoy - thus breaking even. But there's no arguing that since PS Plus became mandatory for online connectivity, the offerings have been, say, less than extravagant. It's in no way the biggest problem right now in terms of gaming and as long as there are titles that appeal to gamers, things will be okay.
If and when the offerings become completely horrible for a year (thus the cycle requiring a new payment), there will be a vocal call out as to why Plus exists in the first place. (I still rather it didn't exist but whatever, I'm left with no option but to pay for the service in order to play online. On games I already purchased... Yeah... Annoying).
hell yeah
the free games sucks,so i skipped most of them
the servers are shit
and the party .... the stupid party -_-
but now we can go offline so we can skip the nonsense of the party crap xD
no they don't need to... they have gamers by the ball they'll continue subscribing no matter what so they have no compelling incentive to improve the service that's why they haven't done it
