"Times are very tough right now the economy seems to be getting better however I don’t seem to be benefitting from it in the least. I love to play the newest video games however because I have not been making as much money as I used to it is very hard for me to afford to buy a new game once a week or even once a month. That’s why I decided to try out GameFly and so far I have been very impressed with their service. I wanted to go over a few things that I really like about GameFly along with some of the things that GameFly could do just a little bit better."

"Those of you that have tried out GameFly before or are currently using GameFly let me know what you think about GameFly in the comments below."
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."
Just thought maybe I'd get the conversation started. I love GameFly what about you guys/gals?
I love Gamefly. It's a good way to save money especially for those short, single-player games. I canceled mine recently due to school & work - not going to have enough time playing.
Shipping is fast. Since I live near Austin, I get my games the next day or the day after that. I also like that they ask you when you received the game or when you mailed it out, so they can improve their shipping. Also, I never had any trouble getting the new releases games.
Customer service is excellent. After 2 years of using Gamefly, I only had one problem with them, but they responded to my problem the next day.
I pretty much use it as a store to get the games I want dirt cheap.
If I played at least 10 hours of games a week, averaging about 20, I might invest in GameFly to save some money on the less reputable games. Currently, my max a week is ten, and that's an a holiday weekend. Especially now with me going back to school, it's just not going to happen.
Regardless of GameFly, I always purchase the games that I really want (mostly Western RPGs and third-person action games).
I canceled my GameFly because the couple times I tried to get new releases, I couldn't. It'd be the ONLY game I had in my queue when it released, and I wouldn't get it.
Then I would have like six or seven games in my queue, and I would get the one I least wanted to play.
For me, paying like $17 or $18 bucks a month to play one or two games wasn't really worth it. Maybe I'll restart soon in hopes of playing some games I've missed over the past year.
