hello wtf is games for windows live then? lol

good luck to microsoft. They can't go about trying to use espn or netflix to lure us in. All that stuff is only a couple keystrokes away.

They better realize fast that pc gamers carry no loyalty to any one company. He who provides the biggest bang for the dollar = the ruler of the pc platform.

I'll gladly use M$ if they want outdo steam and give us ridiculously cheap games. However I've got no interest in it if they're just gonna match steam prices.

If they end up doing that you have to ask "Why buy it on M$ when you can just get on steam for the same price?"

"hello wtf is games for windows live then? lol"

Yet another failed attempt by MS to cash in on a market they don't understand.

Just like this - since we already have Steam, D2D, Impulse and many others. Unless MS come in significantly cheaper with an entirely uninvasive DRM this will just be an also-ran.

What it does confirm though is that MS is transitioning it's main 360 franchises to PC over time - which is in line with their strategy of dropping the traditional 360 market and transitioning it to a more casual crowd.

Am I seeing that all in the same picture? The exact same colours google uses for their logo and then /Mac/ as well as Microsoft? Dayum where is Sony at? I guess Sony could be the 2011 since thats the year of epic games.

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.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

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
