Before I could make it over to the campus I had to find out where the buses were going to pick us up and the rest of the community members. In the lobby of the convention center there were some Xbox signs and lots of people standing around but I was a little early before the buses left. I was a little hungry and saw a pizza place to grab a slice and talked with some friends. The line was starting to move and registration was beginning. I was given a name tag with a sticker on it that was color coded, didn't know what it was for till I got to the campus it was for splitting up the groups for tours of the campus.
It took about twenty minutes to get to the campus and then we all piled out and were greeted by some of the Microsoft employees to get directed to the meeting room for further directions about the day. While waiting for Major Nelson to show up some of the people decided to play hangman on the whiteboards to pass some time. We were then greeted to the pre PAX community event by Major Nelson and he gave us a small speech and slide show of what we were going to be doing and making sure we didn't get in trouble, by either trying to find Natal or anything like that. We then broke into groups and took a tour of the campus..."
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."
When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!
