'Ready Or Not' developer Void Interactive has shared that it will part ways with Team17. The announcement came just hours after a developer said 'Ready Or Not' will have a school shooting level.
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.
Maybe the school shooting level was to much for Team 17 to accept, I know the airport from modern warfare was a maybe or not before it was eventually included. But we're as Activision just seen shock publicity and the dollar sign, maybe Team 17 just don't wanna cross that line.
Remember, No Russian.
Games were so good back then.
Forgot this game just released on steam. Going to have to buy this.
I see how people would find a issue with this seeing it’s a really touchy subject, but this game is highly realistic and put you in necessarily real world scenarios, even if this game was to release with just normal motels, warehouses, and houses eventually people would request to bigger scenarios such as banks, airports, and schools, it’s not like everyone is like hellyeh a school shooter level for the sake of a school shooter it’s to stop them but sadly everyone is looking pass what the game is all about with this one

"To be fair, you can't blame a publisher for not being ok with a school shooting level. You have to understand they're a business. If the media picks up the story it would become a huge controversy. And at that point the context or the storytelling won't matter.It'll just be another case of video games becoming the scapegoat. We need to stop pretending that video games aren't held to a different standard than every other form of entertainment."
- People can think what they want (right or wrong) on this subject, but the truth of the matter is that you're right...So yes, I do understand why Team 17 did what they did. But would I have done the same if I owned my own video game publishing company? Maybe, maybe not.
