Justpressplay: With the release of Thatgamecompany's Flower tomorrow, I figured there couldn't be a better time to ask the question that I've seen on every other gaming blog. "Is it art or is it a game?".
"Artsy" games seem to be common these days, and incorporating beautiful visuals (I'm speaking of beauty that isn't photo-realistic) into games you wouldn't expect like Team Fortress 2 can add nuances to games that make them much more enjoyable. Read more for more on games and art, as well as a few recommendations for those who haven't had the opportunity or desire to play any of the numerous "art" games released in recent years.
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."
Hm, how did that "OR" sneak in there, those things are not mutually exclusive.
Things don't have to be either "generic label 1" or "generic label 2", they are the sum of both (and everything else they happen to be).
all games are art no matter what, even its its a football game.
