The Grand Theft Auto series has been one of the most successful game series of the last decade, but attempts to turn the premise into a MMO game have not yet reached that same level of success. While the first two GTA games had a cult following, it wasn’t until GTA3 came out and turned the game into a full blown 3D city that the series exploded amongst gamers.
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."
No
I've always pictured about 200 online players having gang wars in a fictional GTA city but I guess it'll never happen. because people are just too pissy about having too many online players.
I remember playing KZ2 online with 32 players equipped with rocket launchers all jammed in one room firing away at each other, and to tell you the truth it added tons of fun to game even though no one was winning because technically we're all loosing in that situation because everyone's getting blown up lol.
Yeah the frames per second took a massive hit with all those explosions but it was fun and crazy. All this sissy 5vs5 crap is boring. I've personally enjoyed KZ2 & Burnout Paradises online the most this gen.
if done right, sure, why not
Guess nobody here played on the 500 player servers (!) for San Andreas Multiplayer
