Are you a sheep?
Due to the ongoing and current dialogue surrounding Software Piracy, that question at first glance likely would anger some people. They would suppose that they are being insulted for whatever their stance is on the issue. However, this question is being asked now in an entirely different but highly related context.
No, you aren't a sheep for feeling that Software Piracy is a bad thing.
No, you aren't a sheep for feeling that Software Piracy is O.k.
No, you aren't a sheep for caring about this issue.
If you are a sheep at all, it is because you follow and view this issue through the goggles that have been put on your face for you. If you are a sheep, it is because this issue has been allowed to reach a boiling point without another important aspect of it being a huge part of the conversation.
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."
y so serious?
'The Abyss'
I'm not even going to read the article. These people take piracy way too seriously as if it was conjured by the devil himself.
It negatively effects the economy, developers and game development. It is what it is, it's not some hellish act. I don't do it, if you care don't do it either. If you don't care feel free.
The article is more about Big Business, protecting big business, and how some of their illegal activity directly effecting you is allowed to happen without any or minor repercussions.
Baaaaaaaa...
It's actually a very good article. It's point out that despite companies moaning about us illegally stealing their software (information) they (ILLEGALLY) steal our personal information. And no-one seems that bothered...
