Battlefield 3 has been in beta for a little while now and over this past weekend I had some solid time to really dedicate in playing the map that was available to me. While I really enjoyed the game at this point in it’s incomplete development there are some things that really worried me about its progress.
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 think it should be delayed, and it probably will. there were so many bugs in the 1 month old beta that i don't think they can get even 90% of them out in time for release.
I do hope im wrong and that the game will be perfect for release
Well there are hilarious issues on the PC but I hope these are fixed soon.
You guys didn't see the current versions footage I guess? The game runs fine.
They are going up against MW3 this holiday season and if they want to be a lasting contender in the FPS multiplayer arena (both personal and tournament level) they need a strong, polished release.
You dont know what state the 'finalised' build is in. So basically we're just jumping to conclusions based on the beta.
Their mission will be to release before MW3, there can be no delays. Just hope the retail build is in better shape, if not, moan away internet, do what you do best.
