The Verge writes: "Microsoft is currently testing a new AI-powered Xbox chatbot that can be used to automate support tasks. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the software giant has been testing an “embodied AI character” that animates when responding to Xbox support queries."
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."
Just what Xbox fans have been asking for! Why not just focus on making great games?
Well I mean, when your friends are leaving for greener gaming pastures elsewhere, you have to have somebody to talk to, right?
Oh god MS and their AI bots. The AI helper that they forced onto windows was removed as soon as I saw it, I think it appeared after an Edge update, Copilot AI. It had to be disabled in the registry to get rid of the thing!!!
If anyone here wants to get rid of Copilot this is how you do it:
Right click the start button and select Terminal / Windows PowerShell.
Copy and paste in the command below and press enter:
reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microso ft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
To reenable, use the command:
reg delete HKCU\Software\Policies\Microso ft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /f
I hate the "AI Revolution" and the way people talk about it as if its amazing and normal in our every day life. GROSS!
I'm trying to avoid all that AI crap as much as possible, its still very much in its infancy and yet everyone is trying to push it as the next big thing. Also its going to cause a lot of tech support employees to lose their jobs while also decreasing customer satisfaction. Capitalism at its worst.
God please no...the Bing AI is beyond annoying...If I want to talk to something it will be a human or an animal.
