I've recently saw the news about Valve saying "We don't see the big bad side of Microsoft"... My first thought was: "Well what else are you going to say about those who finance you?"
It's not like they're brain dead or something to say the actual truth (keep reading, this ain't no fanboy stuff...).
Then I began reading some comments of that so called news. Everyone was stating their opinion. Microsoft is like this, Microsoft is like that... bla, bla, bla. Everyone talking like they actually know something. But the fact is they don't .
They are just saying their opinion. That's it... only a opinion.
To know something you would actually have to work for that company/developer studio.
I'll use my friends job as a example:
He works at our countriess best & biggest chocolate factory. Everyone loves their products. The company is nicely presented in commercials, posters and other stuff so you get a nice opinion of them. But when I hear my friend talk about it... it sounds like a h*ll holl. He talks about the way it's being run, it's biggest problems, etc. You get the actual picture about it.
What I want to say about this is that you know sh!t about something if you aren't involved in it(involved in that studio or company). So don't believe every ones opinion, mostly they don't know what they are talking about. :)
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.
Too true, we don't know much about these companies yet we all like to think we know them. I think people jump to conclusions about companies as well. Even I do it a lot.
True dat.
I am sorry but.. where did you find that stick person image lol. Tell me you didn't make that in paint just for this blog.

I agree, good read.
I mean, Microsoft is sued all over the place for their business practices. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that seeing that they've been convicted multiple times of uncompetitive practices all over the world, and still have lawsuits going everywhere, that there's something to these allegations? It would be one thing to express a completely unfounded opinion with no means of backing it up, but in this case we can clearly point and say "Huh? Yeah. See what I mean?"
Nah, I just found it randomly... but now that you mention it it does look like made in MS paint :P
