IGN - GDC came and went without the predicted "SteamBox'. But Valve may still have plans.
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."
They said no. And I trully doubt it. Mainly because MS wouldn't let Valve get some windows on a box
If you want to play PC games get a f* cken gaming PC
if valve wants to make their own pcs, why not? they have enough money on hand to invest in a valve branded pc. just like dell makes alienware, valve can make their own line of pcs
btw, a pc is implicitly defined as having dynamic hardware, while a console is implicitly defined as having static hardware, its the difference between the two - you cant have a "pc console" thats like saying youre going to listen to a paper book - you cant listen to a paper book, it makes no sense - you read a paper book.
valve isnt going to segment its userbase by creating a seperate hardware platform independent of steam, if anything they'll create a pc line, just like alienware except branded differently with the standard windows os
No ...
However theirs nothing stopping Valve integrating hardware sales into Steam, possibly allowing users to provide reviews of X hardware against Y game to assist with component choices + anything else you could think of.
Also some pre-built Valve Rigs wouldn't go a miss :D
