This article is a opinion piece about the blinded view towards 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."
41 here! Been playing since the 2600 and C-64, which doesn't mean shit. But love playing my games. But I do agree with the author that it is parents responsibility to know what their kids are playing. I bet my oldest son hates that I'm a gamer and he can't get on those cool games...............
As a 24 year old I feel like I don't have to justify my game playing. Maybe because it's more common nowadays. Still, there are some poeple ( my mom )who think videogames are for kids but, she won't keep me from my favorite hobby.
i am 34 and as a dad-to-be and a gamer(btw my woman is 29 and a gamer as well), i will definitely control what kind of games my son is playing.some people still say to me that games are for kids but i know that is because they have no idea whatsoever about gaming industry.
I Dont Have A Child But If I Did Then I Would Control What The Child Watches, Does And Says Instead Of Blaming It On The Game Developers. Some Parents Were Not Meant to Have kids
44 here, been gaming since pong came out.
My wife and all my kids are gamers too. Oh and I've just become a Grandad.. =)
Edit: Thanks Matpan
