FT.com: Google has drawn up detailed plans for the closure of its Chinese search engine and is now "99.9 per cent" certain to go ahead as talks over censorship with the Chinese authorities have reached an apparent impasse, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking.
In a hardening of positions on both sides, the Chinese government also on Friday threw down a direct public challenge to the US search company, with a warning that it was not prepared to compromise on internet censorship to stop Google leaving.
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."
You would think the people leaving in a country with over a billion population would have a stronger voice.

Google IS not the main search engine in china. They HAVE spoken and many prefer the alternatives. Surely that's telling you something?
Bu... bu... COMMUNISM. While I understand communism is flawed in many ways as is capatalism I don't think it's just to have a go at another country while our 2 government (UK and USA) have under capatalism had negative effects on society, Wall street crash. While I don't support communism and believe in P.O.E I also believe that maybe it's better to leave them be instead of mocking them with no intention to do anything.... you'll still buy communist products etc
Do you not remember the tiananmen square conflict? It's not that they don't have a voice but it's that they don't have a means with which to fight back. It's part of why America as the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms. A country that is armed has the ability to fight agains't it's gov. when necessary, some countries don't have that privilage.
Is the best form of government, if used properly.
Let's nuke China! :D
