Konami seems to be against everything gaming stands for and now they seek to destroy the vision that Metal Gear Solid had always strived to deliver to its audience with each installment in the series.
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 am optimistic with this Spin off vision since it's not canon which can't ruin Kojima MGS timeline and a different take where you are can play with your friends Co open like MGS peacewalker which was awesome.
Why not let Metal Gear end with MGS V. No need to destroy or bury this amazing franchise to the ground. Ok the story was silly at times but it was meaningful. It was one of those rare franchises that change its gameplay mechanics, game design, location, theme, etc. while it advance the story 😎. Is a shame that Metal Gear survive exists. Its clear that Konami wants to destroy Hideo Kojima san masterful franchise.
To be honest i am a little fed up with all that negativity towards Konami. As much as i like metal gear, we all do not know what exactly happened , and as much as i respect Kojima and admire hes work for metal gear, lets not forget hes not alone and everything what has been done had many other talented people making game, but hes acting like hes alone did everything, showing hes name and surname down our throats every 5 minutes in all hes games. what other creator does it? i am starting dislike him little by little, hes like attention whore.
and we do not know what happened, maybe hes difficult to work with, maybe hes just to expensive asking for millions and maybe it does not even pay off even if game is good. there can be many reasons, in other words leave konami alone if you do not like it :)
Konami can burn as far as I'm concerned. They killed Silent Hills.
I'm of a mind that even if the game turns out to be surprisingly good, it won't matter because they have completely tanked their reputation with years of BS. I refuse to support current Konami, or at least until there's a complete replacing of their top execs. I only hope that the good people that chose to stay there(god in heaven, why?!?!?!?) are treated somewhat better than what we've heard.
