I’m going to warn you in advance, there are spoilers in here about the nature of the ending of Mass Effect 3, but no plot points. Seriously, it’s hard to do with without spoilers, but I’m going to try. If you don’t want any sort of spoilers, avoid this article. There are also links to other sites, which contain spoilers, so please be aware.
Right now, the internet is more or less ablaze with people discussing the end of Mass Effect 3. It’s a contentious point to be sure- but apparently, even more contentious is the fan response. Many fans are disappointed with the ending. Yes, ending. Singular. There is a single core ending, with multiple minor deviations depending on how you played the game, and the final choice available to you. It’s a polarizing issue, to be sure. I was pretty upset, myself. However, mainstream journalism seems to have skirted the main issues on both sides. Metacritic has been forced to clamp down hard on ‘review-bombing’ of the game on its site, which brings up a lot of questions in and of itself. Other outlets are claiming this is a homophobic backlash, which is, quite frankly, insulting and wrong in and of itself. Beyond that, gamers are being split into two camps: those petitioning for a ‘better’ ending, and those who think that the studio’s creative right trumps that. As more and more gamers complete the campaign, more voices are being added- and an awful lot of them are angry.
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."
