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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Well this is a rare occurrence: a long article that isn't divided into multiple pages and I agree on almost all points, even the honorable mentions.
Nothing is more disappointing than the Dead Space series.
It's a perfect example of a developer trying it's hardest to not only appeal to a wider audience but trying to cater to whatever action gun craze was popular at that time. It went from atmospheric survival horror to Gears of War, CoD style gunplay action.
Truly a shame.
Assassins Creed
Also Deus Ex and Thief don belong on that list both are still great series (apart from that atrocious Thief reboot) its just that the general audience is no longer interested in slower paced stealth games like them.
Sometimes popular game series change due to the gaming press wanting a series to 'evolve', resulting in gameplay changes that completely change the formula of the game, and usually ruin said game. I like to call this the 'Socom Effect'.
Mass Effect Andromeda was.l a disaster lol. im not sure what exactly happened during development but bloody hell lol.
