As console players are wrapping up their time with the Destiny 2 Public Beta, the reception of developer Bungie’s appetizer has been… underwhelming. Returning players expected an atonement for the game’s past mistakes, but instead felt they’d received an omen of things to come. Specifically, more of the same things.
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.
This story is being dramatic. It's gonna be great at 60fps on PC and everybody will forget they were worried at all.
The things that Destiny did well felt pretty same-y. That's fine. The gunplay, environment design, and strike were all good. I wanted to see more from the beta/demo though. This game could prove to have significant improvements, but it was hard to tell from it. I liked the added/changed abilities for the classes, but that's just one thing. The enemy from the last cutscene seemed super lame.
Looked great, played great.. And personally didn't get any network errors which is welcome. It will be similar to Destiny 1, as in the Internet is going to cry its poor little eyes out about Destiny not being the game they wanted, while millions of other people quietly enjoy an awesome game.
lol of course is underwhelming, it looks almost the freaking same as the first one and yet Bungie calls it Destiny 2!?, and don't come to tell me that sequels are meant to look the same as first one nonsense!, just go and look Uncharted 1 to Uncharte2, hell even in Uncharted 3 is better looking, when creating sequels these sequels are meant to look and play better than the first iteration.
This is a badly written opinion piece. He is totally ignoring the reality coming at him. 30FPS AT 4K LOOKS FLAWLESS! I realize I'm in the minority with that setup but yeah. There is more content coming in PVE than PVP and I wish people would tune into IGN for that coverage.
