Excerpt:
"You have Facebook and Twitter for forming social networks of friends, family, etc. Now there are an even tighter focus on the social networks: videogames. There is now Raptr and Playfire vying for your attention. Raptr has been around a while, and just recently hit 6 million users. Playfire is currently in beta, and might have what it takes to steal some of those users. I will cover all aspects of the service and the options at your disposal. But ultimately, this is my opinion and it will be up to you, as far as preferences go."
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 love playfire a lot and I also like Raptr for tracking my hours. The beta version of playfire is seeing to trump Raptr at the moment though. Being that you no longer have to go to the EU PSN site to update your trophy card, rather all you have to do is sync trophies [under the game menu] and then sync your profile. Within' a day or two it should be updated, though in the past it used to take an hour or less.
Though seeing as Playfire is in transition from the old to the new site I can understand why it's slow. So far if Playfire had an chat client like Raptr it would be awesome. No need for it to be utilized for tracking PC games or anything just a chat client.
