Congrats all... what a great surprise this afternoon. My Spirits have been lifted! Bwah hahaha...

This is one of the coolest things about this sites. Congrats all and thank you all for submitting and/or writing such great and interesting news/blogs.

When I saw the ticket notification on my profile this morning, my initial thought was that I got a comment ban for a sarcastic remark or something.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that wasn't the case - even more so when I realized that I had won $50 :)

Congratulations every...*looks at winners*
Oh WTF?!
Really? So I'm back to not winning? Won't somebody think of the hookers?
*looks a Cat* Err, I mean well done guys. You really deserve it.

Edit: *raises hands and backs toward the door*

The only reason CoolBeans didn't won something, is to throw us off guard to what is actually happening.

Noble Members of N4G,... Wake Up.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
