Hello Games revealed details of a launch day patch for the upcoming No Man’s Sky yesterday. This patch makes some massive, literally universe changing improvements to the game, completely changing the algorithm used to generate the worlds players will explore.
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.
High speed internet exists and isn't going anywhere until the apocalypse. If you are a gamer who can't get these patches unfortunately you are going to be left behind. So you better make a good friend who has good internet or just wait until a GOTY edition comes out because this isn't going to change. These days even consoles have day one patches. When I got PS4 and XB1 on their launch days both required it. Fortunately Sony put it up the day before on their website because the night PS4 launched I couldn't even sign into my PSN account. The Xbox one downloaded no problem but the point is they both required it and that's the age we live in now. It's not going anywhere.
* Some people don't understand that devs could and would essentially work on games for 5-10 years if they could.
* At some point they need to recoup some money they've spent on development to you know....stay in business.
* That is why there are deadlines for releasing a game.....it's the point at which they can't afford to continue opporating otherwise it cuts into their profits too much.
* They have to release the game at some point, but it's a process....they don't just push a button.
* So while that process is unfolding( it takes a few weeks), they get going on trying to fix anything they couldn't have for the deadline.
* Then when we get the game, there is a fixed version that is better, waiting to download into the main game.
^ If you don't understand or comprehend this than You Are The Problem.
* People who understand the process and details about something rarely get bent out of shape when something that didn't expect happens.
* To complain about Day 1 patch update is dumb.
* If devs could have done this for NES/Sega Genesis/SNES/N64/PS1 games they would have done it too.
