[UPDATE] According to recent events, there is a possibility that these attacks have been carried out as an act of retaliation against the recent bans handed out by Blizzard for Overwatch. Word has been around that the ban was because some of the fans decided to take the fight back to Blizzard for banning them off the servers. For those who do not know, Blizzard carried out a massive ban wave over the weekend, handing out bans to players using bots in the game to gain an advantage.
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.
Blizzard server have always been under such attacks. I wonder what will happen when Legion is released. At the time of Warlords of Draenor's release, it faced a big server down moment due to overload and DDoS as well.
Absolutely right! The launch of Legion will be crucial. There has been mixed reviews for Warlords of Draenor and gamers are looking forward to this edition.
For the DDoS attack, this is one has many aspects. It could be the banned players or even a random act. Only time will tell. Will there be an update to this article regarding the Blizzard and DDoS scenario?
Really looking forward to Legion
