Destiny 2 changes the shader system from the original game. Shaders are now one-use items, which makes absolutely no sense.
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."
It's not different than when you have to individually buy dyes to color armor in other games. They are ridiculously common drops. Why is this such an issue? Shader system in Destiny 1 colored your entire outfit, no guns, no ships. Destiny 2 you get to color individual armor pieces, weapons, and ships.
lol this is just retar^%$^ed, is very simple why Bungie is doing this, is just to get from you more money period. I mean really if you can't see this by Bungie you are just being a fanboy and justifying their behavior and greed, in Destiny 1 this was no issue, you just get the shader, store it or destroy it(if you were full in storage) but you can recovered from that old lady in the tower and so no need to farm that stu#$%^id same shader again for hours.
Seriously changing shaders in Destiny 1 I use it alot(back and fort several times) while playing missions, in Destiny 1 mp I changed it alot cause I wanted to camouflage with my surroundings of certain maps(I don't know if this is also blocked in Destiny 1.5).
Heck I don't know why this matter talking about shaders is a thing?, it was fine Destiny 1 probably one of the few things that were good back then, seriously Bungie stop being such greedy bastards! you already obtained your 500 million investment in Destiny 1.
It makes sense for the suits in the C Suite at Activision. They want your MONEY.
Watch Destiny 3 will charge players for ammunition.
Clickety Clak, Clickety Clak, the money goes into my piggy bank.
