GrE says, "Jagex are a bit of an enigma. They have quietly become one of the biggest players in the MMO market with Runescape boasting figures only bested by World of Warcraft. Interestingly, all of their success has come without the slightest bit of marketing and with a minimal amount of press exposure. Still, they have become one of the finest purveyors of MMO games. Now, with Runscape nearing its ninth birthday, they have decided to tackle something new. Today (Tuesday 19th January, 2010) marks the launch of Jagex's newest endeavour the massively multiplayer browser based real-time strategy game War of Legends."
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."
Cool interview with some insight into game development and publishing.
Seems as if browser-based games are the future of the MMO market...at least for outside of the WoW market
Wounder how well this will hold up against something like League of Legends. I know this is browser based, but LoL is a great MMORTS.
