They're not just for kids -- taking on issues such as global warming, the oil crisis, boosting self-esteem, immigration law, and life in the third world. Next time you want to learn about something, why not do it by playing a great game instead of slogging through a boring textbook?"
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."
Uncharted... real world issues... fighting Nathan Drank and why you shouldn't
I thought games like Bioshock or MGS would be on the list, even if they have little to no real-world connection. I know Bioshock was based off of Atlas Shrugged, and I could have swore MGS had some sort of real-world connection. I'm probably wrong about that one, but I suppose most games these days are not driven by real-world issues. Sort of a shame, really. Sometimes that connection is what makes a definitive game, or at least the story portion. I hope some developers do that in the future.
This is fail article.
This was pretty fascinating though I have no desire to actually play any of these games. Probably shouldn't have been submitted here though as it's more of a social studies type article and this site is more for little douchey kids who say things like, "This is fail article."
