-Single post wonders, spammers, rude or offensive remarks all result in a DQ.

-You can only win once every six months.
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.
Well, this is... different. :)
Here's hoping the new contests will get the desired results N4G management is trying to achieve!
It'll be interesting to see the cause / effect of this. :D
Thanks for sharing CAT, just one question though, does this rule applies to all of the NewsBoiler sites of just N4G.
Just joined up, but use the site all the time. Just moved from Dublin, Ireland to Boston, getting settled in. Big PS3 gamer, though not online here yet (PSN id SKillerDublin) Just got my PAL PS3 to work here.
Posted my blog, hope you enjoy
