It is no doubt that online web based gaming hold a future in the present gaming scenario. We talk about the capabilities and the problems the gaming industry will face.
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."
I heard about quake or doom in 3d for pc that could be played on the browser.
I guess thats a beginning.
I've played quite a lot of web-based games lately. They are using plugins to deliver you a rich and immersible experience that's unparalleled. Flash is nothing compared to the quality of games described in this article.
I only play online games all the time...
That might take more than an year.
That's what M$ said with the Play-n-Tray feature (more in essence of being able to play the game from the tray while you install it), and that never took off. This is just one step further, and I don't see how that's going to work.
Even if done through online means, there will still be loading times of any sort; to assume that we can just "do away with them" ENTIRELY would require a supercomputer that can process commands faster than we can think.
