So for example, I submitted that Warriors news and it reached today's hottest. Does that mean I get anything?

Fullmetalevolust3630d ago

Congrats and keep at it, I've submitted some news in the past and it's never gotten that much attention. Keep up the good work. You'll have to submit all month long.

Who won last months competition?

Deadpooled3630d ago (Edited 3630d ago )

The "Today's hottest" continually changes depending on the time it was submitted, from personal experience of submitting articles last month for that competition it's around 24hours since approval when it stays on the front page then goes for the next highest heat one to be the hottest of the day. Most likely if the article gets 1000 degree+ heat it likely gets a top news rank. Last month my C Rank went up from 5 to 9.

We're still tabulating things. As stated in the rules of every monthly contest, we'll notify winners by the 7th of the next month (that means the 7th of July). The public will know at the same time.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio45d ago

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.

Jingsing45d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9245d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit45d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing45d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9245d ago

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
