Fudzilla: "Too many users not enough cash
YouTube is about to go down the gurgler according to Benjamin Wayne the CEO of Fliqz.
Writing in his purple prose stacked blog, Wayne said that YouTube, was an "incandescent tower of video Babel; monument to the sloughed-off detritus of our exponentially-exploding digital culture". Wayne described it as a "Technicolor cataract of skateboarding dogs, lip-synching college students, political punditry, and porn"."
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."
Now I can't upload my vids of me dancing!
I'm sure they'll be able to figure this out as well. It'll probably take some reorganization, streamlining and submission limitations, but they will keep this thing going. There is just too much riding on it.
You Tube isn't going anywhere.
Benjamin Wayne sounds like a hater to me.
I'm not sure of the validity of his claims though. Can anyone clarify the issue to ill-informed people like me?
so what does it mean?
the beginning of death to the free INTERNET?
fcuk world really amaze me more and more..
Gee that'll be a pretty big expense to consider? I mean, I enjoy watching classic film and television clips and my occasional Eric the Midget/Howard Stern sound clips, but all the other gay-a$$ crap like Fred and Chris Crocker will make this a tough decision.
This financial cave-in was meant to happen though. Only premium memberships are charged and even with imbeded advertisements on practically each video (does you guys just hate that?) they need to come up with another method to advertise in order to bring in more money (like maybe full-screen ads in between each video clicked)
