Pj Mischuk will be talking about one of the problems gamers are facing while purchasing video games today. One of those problems is Season Passes and DLC added on as an extra purchase after we already obtained our favorite games. Major game publishers like EA, Ubisoft are suspected of DLC Abuse. But, the profits brought in by selling extra content provides a good reason to stick with business as usual.
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 no longer purchase games with season passes and/or DLC before even the game's release. Down vote, debate, argue all you want but I'm voting with my wallet that it's unacceptable to try any way possible to break games up to resell content. And the fact most of these companies will try anything to persuade is just more proof some people jumped on the bandwagon of going against this practice.
And before people start twisting my words around, if a game is released with already planned future content that's not free is what I'm boycotting. And yes, there are games without the need of expansions, DLC, or season passes; unfortunately they're mostly indie titles - most are better than AAA games.
You have to be a complete f**king moron, if you need this explained to you, and didn't already see it coming 10 years ago. Here we are today though, with the current state of things. Further proof of just how stupid the average "gamer" is.
Not much else is funnier than seeing these cement headed idiots actually try and defend and justify this garbage. I've had some good laughs over the years, and I'm sure I'll have some good laughs at the comments in this article. Same as always.
