You have to wonder where gaming is headed. First it was DLC but that wasn't enough nickle and dime so they had to add micro-transactions, now it seems like that wasn't enough because the companies actually had to make content so now the next thing is to make the customer make the game themselves then charge for their work.

It's unfortunate that time and time again gamers have shown they have zero self control and buy into even the biggest cons and scams which ensures that no matter how greedy these companies get there will always be dumb asses who will pay.

I remember Valve and Bethesda want to made a paid mods back in 2015 and they got backslash by PC community. But it's seem Bethesda will do their own things without Valve. "Sigh" I hate this type of practice.

Wouldn't surprise me and I'm not paying for it.

INMATEofARKHAM3257d ago (Edited 3257d ago )

I won't even buy the base games if this is there plan till way down the line...

Trust me I can wait, they'll get less money from me in the long run.

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.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

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

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg25d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

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.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

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.
