I recently talked about the proposed plan to bring free Internet to the masses with the FCC selling off existing unused spectrum bands. It seems like such a service will not be coming any time soon, mainly due to the failure of the auction as well as the growing list of concerns lobbied by protestors.
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.
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."
well i dont think they will because then they will loose alot of money
Not if Microsoft ever get their hands on all of it.
There greedy they wont make it free they cant live without cash
offering free wifi. One town in So Cal is doing it, and i think Houston is doing it right now.
In some select cities yes, but overall no. Why would ISPs give up their cash flow opportunity to provide something like the internet for everyone? When many of them make you pay for services such as repair personal to come to the house to fix the problem, and not to mention the problem in Australia where they cap your usage rate, while still making people pay. It would be a nice thing to have free internet and something that isn't blocked (Censorship I think one is going on in Australia) as well as capping usage.
Although so far neither the free internet idea nor the capping and censorship will stop so much. :/
