Gamer and YouTuber Charlie Goldberg says it's time to stop bashing video games and instead celebrate millions of American gamers who participate in a national industry that is valued at an estimated $36.9 billion. In this video Op-Ed, he debunks the claims of politicians who blame video games for mass shootings.
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

Video games are always the scapegoat when it comes to violence or some mass shooting and yet Hollywood makes violent movies and there is no blame there. I play GTA V online and I am not going around shooting or killing real people because I know the difference between real life and fantasy. Usually people who do mass shootings are not all there in the head due to the way they were raised, how they were raised, or how they raised when growing up. If a kid has been bullied all his life and has no way to express or vent his anger then yes he might shoot a school. There is not enough support for people who have mental issues and if there is support the waiting line is usually longer then a bathroom line at a Slayer concert. It's not the gun killing that person its the idiot on the other end who decided to shoot that person the gun is only doing what it was made for.
It's as retarded as blaming a religion for horrendous acts.. If a person is sick it's regardless of what he plays or believes in. there is not much to do before it's too late..
