"Over each console generation, gamers have been given more value for their gaming dollars. Early titles gave the illusion of length using brutal difficulty, but we started receiving lengthier adventures as we continued into the 16 and 32/64-bit eras of gaming. Now-a-days, we have titles that can last over a hundred hours. In comparison, games have seen only fairly minor increases in price. Gamers of today are almost spoiled by how much content they are given. And now it is easy to feel ripped off when paying $50-$60 for a ten to fifteen hour experience. It becomes even more painful when it is less than that. Developers have a couple of tricks to keep players thinking they're getting more value out of their money."
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."
Well, it was good enough for those of us that grew up with the Atari 2600/NES but the newer gamers will probably say "no".

YUP, I am spoiled..and I love it! I feel its good that I demand the most value for my money. I won't pay more than $30 for a single player only game.
No.
