United States Congressman Joe Baca (D-California) is working on passing a bill that will require video games with a rating of T or higher to have this warning printed on them: "WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior."
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."
These guys don't have anything better to do. Shouldn't they be trying to improve the economy or something. Seriously there are better things to do then target video games.
but...it hasn't.
isn't it basically unanimous that the studies done on such cases were so varied in results that there was no DEFINITE way to prove that games did or didn't cause agresiveness?
except for the proven fact it hasn't? oh governments how you lie all the time
Video games are a great escape from a busy day. A good stress relief. If anything it calms me. So I don't know where they get this. As a parent it is my job to deem what is acceptable for my kids not their job.
You have been either really young or really messed in the head to link violent behavior with video games. It's a video game. Not real life.
