There has been an ungodly amount of gossip swarming around Valve and its rumored ‘Steam Box’ concept, of late. Love or hate it, the idea of a PC-centric platform that bridges the worlds of PC and console gaming is both a novel and intriguing idea. Will it work? That’s remains to be unseen. That being said, is the living room the best place to leverage this merger of worlds? You might be wondering where else it could possibly be fought. What if Valve instead choose to not only attempt to bridge the gap between PC and console gaming, but at the same time narrow the gap between handhelds and consoles?
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."
tablet? what?
So we've moved from a "box" to a "tablet"... and the thing still doesn't exist.
I wonder what Steam Box 2 will be like, I heard Valve are really upping the ante.
Valve should keep out of the hardware market and just support devices that are already available

Valve first talked about Big Picture mode months ago but now it's finally on the verge of release. This is what the "Valve console" rumors were based on, because this provides you with a more console-like interface when using a TV and a controller.

A Valve tablet makes no sense as Valve has no experience making hardware, and tablets are not good for games. Sure you can have fun with Plants vs Zombies on an iPad but you aren't going to play Half-Life 2 with a tablet.
