It seems the feud between G2A and TinyBuild Games is far from over. A recent press releases from TinyBuild talks about G2A’s ‘aggressive’ press release. The press releases has prompted TinyBuild to issue a 3 day ultimatum.
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
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."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
I was criticized for supporting G2A and called out by the staff on this site. But I stick by what I said. That TinyBuild wants to double bill.
"2. Set a minimum cut for all 3'rd party sales of said keys."
Basically they want to sell keys then charge people when they resell them. AKA. double bill.
"1. Allow publishers to set a minimum price for the distributed products."
At that point it's not even a free market. Imagine if companies were allowed to tell Amazon anyone who sells a game can't sell it for less than $60. Or any type of product for that matter.
What TinyBuild is proposing is ludicrous.
Now the charge back issue was not fair to TinyBuild that I admit. But instead of going after G2A what they should have done is disabled the keys via Steam services or on their own download services. When people who bought the keys had the games disabled or the keys failed the people selling the keys would have gotten there accounts flagged and been removed from G2A.
Its 1 thing if people are using stolen credit card information to buy keys but if people are buying keys legitimately and selling them below retail price then what is the issue?? Its no different than buying a disc then trading it in or selling it on ebay.
It's the whole selling used games from 3 years ago all over again, somebody's key is their property, no difference here... also, how come they wont go after Ebay who pretty much do the same thing? Am I missing something here?
