Twinfinite Writes: EA definitely had a rocky 2017 in more than one way. Here's how the company can improve upon things going forward.
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."
1. by going bankrupt
they should stop destroying their franchises with loot boxes if they're so interested in that area go mobile only. another way for them to improve is to sell off all their other IPs that aren't sports games but hey I'm dreaming that will never happen unless they go bankrupt and even then I believe EA would rather sink with their IPs then to sell it off to the highest bidder.
EA won't improve though, the only thing they'll take from the whole Battlefront 2 controversy is to be more subtle, basically they'll lube up before screwing you in the ass next time.
I have zero faith that EA will change, I say continue to respond with your wallet and do not support a company that won't even listen to its customers.
It's not like they are ever going to learn from their mistakes. Despite the controversy, EA are still money grabbing monsters in suits.
