This is not the original article written and approved a few years back. I decided to change it because I've pretty much noticed how much I have changed since my original post.
Back then gaming was my life and I drifted between games consoles as if it was some sort of crime to enjoy both of them, now I own both consoles. I've matured, my interests have grown (I am doing a Criminal Justice Degree, which takes up a lot of my time)and I am experiences more of what the outside world has to offer so now gaming is my hobby.
I have a New addition to my family (she is two now, but was not even a thought when I wrote my original post), I am still married to the same wonderful woman who supports me through everything.
However I am still a gamer and whilst gaming will always have a place in my heart, I use it as more of a cure for boredom these-days and find it pretty easy to put down the pad. Is this an end of gaming for me? No, but it is a realization for me. Gaming is just that and I think I've put it in it's place.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
