Hatred towards DRM and other copy protection measures is as high as ever online, so it's hard to find fair articles that look at the problem from both sides.
The following article was written by Dr. John B. Williston, a Ph.D, and it presents one of the most structured and logical articles on the topic you will ever find (for those with the patience to read through all the details).
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."
here's why i think we need a gamers bill of right
We as gamers have less right every day, and a bill of right will be a standard that gamers can recognize and are able to identify which features/rights some developers are not giving us, the most important right in their list for me is, not having to have a constant internet connection/not having to have an internet connection for a single player game, i think it's ridiculous that c&c4 will require a constand internet connection and so will not be buying it, even with counterstrike/rts's i play offline deathmatch etc, i hate the push for mandatory online everything
The sad thing is, people who pirate C&C4 will probably be able to play the game without internet...
EDIT: Eh, next time I should post AFTER I read the article, took it the wrong way.
