Whether that be because you have been waiting for the title for many years or because it is a brand new IP which you have seen progress through its development. There are many reasons to get excited about a new release. However, over the last few years there has been a huge decline in this excitement, in my mind anyway."
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.
I wholeheartedly agree...but I can't help myself with uncharted 4. If that's broken next week I'll quit day one releases forever! I swear, I really really mean it this time!
The simple fact is that people struggle to control their own expectations, and let the hype get the better of them. I don't get the "having stuff before someone else" mentality, but in fairness spoilers can be a killer.
I don't buy on release day.... but I make the occasional, ever so rare exception.
I rarely buy games on release day. I don't see the point. Most times I have a long backlog of games to play and don't have time to play the newest releases when they first come out. Plus if you wait a little bit the game goes on sale. However my own brother attends midnight releases, so I guess to each his own.
