"Fat, ugly, lacking any form of social skills, living in his mother’s basement. That is the general stereotype of a video game player. But there are some gamers out there, some people who just couldn’t stand this stereotype being forced on them anymore. So they decided to make things right. And they went into killing sprees."
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'm a gamer, been a gamer all my life. I'm 26 years old at the moment and living together with my gf. But I could never, ever in a million years could hurt any of my relatives or even other people over video games. There is just no way. Arguing over video games is such a nonsence. These stories are terrible and these people should be put away or maybe tortured and than killed. People like these should not be alive.
very disturbing stories
This has to be the most atrociously written article I've ever read. Not to be conceited but I've been writing better since the fifth grade. Improving sentence structure and grammar goes a long way into making a much more pleasurable reading experience.
On topic: It's saddening to know how the act of taking a life can be instigated through something as petty as videogames.
This is why we can't have nice things... these animals are ruining it for the rest of us!
that is just sad to read! but the fact that there are gamers out there that would kill for video games,does not mean all gamers are like that. I have played video games all my life, i would never hurt anyone for turning off my game (happens all the time, we call it a drive by), and i could never kill anyone over a video game! Sure gamers can get some pretty hardcore gamer rage, but i would say 99% of the gamers would never go as far as killing someone over a game.
