TVGB: "Every once in a while, when I muster up the strength to not implode with the chunks of sluggishness and bile that fester on the Internet, I explore social media networks. While doing so, I ran into a passing comment made by Roger Ebert where he not-so-subtlety displayed his skepticism for games once more."
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."
Why do you care about a non-gamer's opinion on games in the first place?
If they think Fox News is the only news source who reports on video games being "evil", they don't watch a lot of television.
NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN have all done reports on video games.
I get it though. FOX is conservative and the rest are liberal... So, they're the most evil. -_-
Lol....Fox News
I will quote Yi-Long above, "Fox News is the network by idiots, for idiots."
Also, in regards to Ebert, he name for a person who makes blanket statements about an entire medium without knowing anything about it aside from an outsider's impression is IGNORAMUS. Ebert, may be a talented movie reviewer but he says some very ignorant things.
If I said rugby or cricket is a worthless sport I'd be an ignoramus because I don't know anything about them aside from some outsiders impression.
Roger Ebert is a waste of flesh and skin. He's a man who's made a living off other people's work and creations and he's mediocre at it at best. I don't give a crap what my mechanic has to say on the topic of games as art so I don't give a shit what Roger Ebert says either because they're both equally unqualified to say a damn word about it.
And Fox news is nothing more than the tissue basket Rupert Murdorch keeps by his bed for when he pleases himself to videos of genocide. Anyone who listens to either of these golden sources of truth with the intent to take anything they say seriously should be marked for sterilization at a genetic level.
What's actually concerning is that the views of these captains of industry are often shared by normal human beings who aren't totally retarded. This is less a computational error i.e. having a mango for a brain, but is just ignorance. Time will come though and people will learn. That's all we can do is wait. Comics, movies, and music have all had this little ritualistic "hazing" of being accused of everything from witchcraft to making lightbulbs all go out at once. In a way it just means we're well on our way to being taken seriously as a legitimate art form. The Smithsonian already has shown interest in the presentation of art as games. As have other museums.
