Have you noticed this too? It's not just me, then. Every action hero-- well, a large proportion of them, anyway, tend to look like Vin Diesel. They all have shaved heads, frowns and featureless mugs. They're cookie-cutter, archetypal action heroes - and they all look like each other.
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."
Yes lets just ignore the plethora of examples that don't resemble Vin Diesel! :1

The sad part is that I can find more characters that DON'T LOOK like Vin Diesel, than I can that do (the bald, tough guy look). IGN just plays to many Space Marine games me thinks :/
Naw, not all of this gen's main characters are thugs, there are plenty of spikey haired girlie boys from Japanese games to balance things out. In the end its a sign of the times really, back in the 90s most video characters have that Arnold look to them, now it's Sam Worthington. No biggie.
Game characters are generally good looking guys/gals, from a esthetic point of view, designers don't have much room for creativity when designing characters.
I do agree with the article, game characters and their personalities are getting pretty bland and stale in the latest games. Some games the devs handle it real well, but it gets old after a while when personalities in games are overused, especially character design also.
Totally agree.
