GI: "We discuss the state of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age studio in the wake of key departures."
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.
No.
Of course. They just need to make good games, as any studio.
If they can get away from the clutches of EA and bring back the original team who was at Bioware day one then yes they could bounce back. As of right now no EA is just going to drill them and keep drilling them into the ground face first. Most of the original staff who actually gave a shit have left all Bioware now is held together with bubble gum and chicken wire. The fact I am surprised EA has not turned off the lights at Bioware surprises me after the performance Andromeda and Anthem made. I mean it's not their fault I solely blame EA but if this track record keeps popping up with Bioware games I wouldn't be surprised if EA shut the lights off at Bioware and they will join Visceral.
They can. They just have to learn to say no to the executives that think they know more about games than the people that actually make the games.
Go woke, go broke.
