MS: "When not challenging other big name studios in legal battles and to games of Quake, Minecraft creator, Notch (aka. Markus Persson), does what he loves best… he codes. If you’ve ever wanted to see how a game gets made or love Minecraft, then you should head on over to his live stream that’s going on right now."
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 like the game, but do know there are no checkpoints. If you die it's all over. Link to game below.

Coding isn't equal to programming, I wish the terms would be used right. Coding is HTML and CSS. Not processed or anything. Programming is more like Java, although java is inefficient, but a programmign lanuguage. Some that are even better for programming are C, Assembly, etc. Notch isn't that great of a programmer, but Notch IS a programmer, not a "coder."
And many games have been programmed in a few days. Robotron 2084's main gameplay was done in 3 days. Defender of the Favicon was done in 3 days, and there are many more out there.
Although, time doesn't matter. What does though is making the most optimized program as possible. Sometimes for size, sometimes for speed, and finding the perfect balance is what makes it quality. Not the time to having something playable.
He should be working on the next 1.8 update :)
