As many of you may know, the demise of PC gaming has been forecasted for sometime now. Many have attributed the reason for this demise to the rampant piracy that has been growing on the PC. However, with the advent of Blu-ray, will PC gaming make a comeback?
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."
no lol pc don't need blue ray
...other than that, Blu-Ray is not needed in terms of space because of the compression technology available for PC's.
...Now, if they include bloopers, dev diaries, mini-movies, and other trinkets that the Blu-Ray can hold to fill-up the disc, that will make the switch even more appealing to the point of Blu-Ray gaming being a must-have.
How long will it take for PC to addapt the technology. But those 50gb dual layer blu-rays could help pc gaming because of the capacity.
Not that games would not fit for normal dvd:s but 50 gb can also include "ghost data" not to mention there are not many countries with interenet speeds that would make downloading 50gb images off the net a pleasant task
however as the drives are yet pretty expensive and it would take few years for them to become standard. And connection speeds increase over time (if some international law of limitting internet connection speeds for public is adjusted which I doubt)
it could but I doubt it.
No. Steam has unlimited capacity and it's easier, and most people love it.
i strongly do not recommend they do this simply because up until now. all PC game needs install of at least 2 to 4 gigs and even bigger on some games. unless PC gaming goes the same direction as Console gaming. and when blueray becomes mandatory. high speed internet would have already changed to fiber optics and we willl be able to download to increadible speeds. the only thing now is how fast will HDD evolve so that we have 10 to 15 terabite drives as a standart.
