With all content added to 'Destiny's newest expansion, 'The Rise of Iron', there isn't much that makes the game feel "new" again. Gamer Professionals writer Jordan Aslett asks why players keep grinding away on a game that never changes.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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."
Meh if you play mmos then you'll know that the grind will be the same even when new content drops. That's just how it is.....a grind.
If youve ever played a mmo like ffxiv you'll know that new content just sweetens the deal but content does not change the games nature and that is that grinding is the straight pipe and nothing else.
I don't mind it, makes it all the more rewarding.
Almost every game is a grind in one way or another, you always grind for more money better weapons or getting better stats. Even a lot of non RPG games work with grinding because it is an easy system to bolster content and players like it because it gives them a feeling of constant progression and differntiation from other players who don't put in that much effort, it gives a feeling the work they put in the game matters, it makes them better and gives them new shinier gear with better stats.
Just got back into Destiny. All the new content is overwhelming and refreshing. Fully enjoying my time with destiny. Level 40 275 light Hunter always looking for raid runners
"asks why players keep grinding away on a game that never changes."
Same reason I play all games. It is fun to play.
Hardly a grind if you enjoy it
