Still think that Microsoft is bad, and Google good? Think again.
Among many of the tech cognoscenti, Microsoft has been portrayed much like the evil Galactic Empire in Star Wars: a tyrannical regime bent on conquering the universe for its own nefarious ends.
Today, Google resembles no company so much as it does Microsoft in its global ambitions, its clear-eyed focus on the bottom line and - for the first time - a host of critics who fear that the company's reach has grown too long, its grip on the market too strong.
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."
I don't think you have to wait 4 years though.
people who find big corporations evil are the same people who think governments are evil.
We call those people anarchists.
They believe in a free society not bound by laws.
Personally i think anarchists are mad, without laws, it would be the right of the strongest, woman would have no right, hardly anybody would get a fair chance anymore, and any weak person would be unable to survive.
I spit on anarchists.
Google is seen as a good force by webmasters because Google bring them most of their traffic and income, and we all know that webmasters very much control the feel of the internet, that why you don't hear a lot of complaints about Google dominance.
So when Google grow big and make more money, so are the little webmasters with their little blogs and forums, where Microsoft only make money for themselves and other affiliated big companies, that why we didn't see much love from the internet toward Microsoft.
The point is, Google is good for us NOW, but the future looks scary specially when the management changes "and they will", then god knows what will happen.
