Well, that happened and there was a lot in there for better or worse. In this age sans-E3, it's been harder to get your news like we used to, but they're still trying.
We hope you enjoyed the news coming out of what events we have and just thought we'd throw the ball to you to discuss any of the interesting games being shown throughout today's shows (Devolver is last, so who knows how that wil lturn out).
Let us know your thoughts or the shown content and hopes for upcoming events on this sans-E3 weekend. Thanks to you all for hanging in for the news that does come out.

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.
I wish the big 3 had more presence. Help Geoff out guys! I guess XB is saving itself for Sunday. PlayStation first party awol again. Lotsa filler. Eh, what can you do?
For me I did not see a single new thing that peaked my interest at first glance. I am looking forward to seeing what Bethesda and Ubisoft offer but I miss E3 as it was so much better than a parade of clips; even in off years.
For me at least nothing will replace E3. I have many E3 DVD's from years ago GameSpot, Planet GameCube, and another from I think it was called Next Gen who made them. Now comes the huge task of ripping them all to mkv and keep them on my drive. 🤪
I liked the Lego horizon and power ranger games. Everything else i feel like we have seen over and over again. This first person shooter is going to be different than that other first person shooter... trust me bro.
At least the two I mentioned did their own twist on existing IP and did it in a way that looks to just be fun, no matter who you are. i am a bit hopeful we may see sequels to Quantum Break and Control after they get some inclusion in the new AW2 DLC. But that will have to wait until next year (or so)
Report was that it is 250K a minute for a trailer to be included. People left E3 saying it had become too expensive for space and travel costs and then said disruption to production schedule and a firm timeline for content to present. Now we have massive layoffs and companies cutting back from media reviews and now find it's pay the fee or hope you have a good enough relationship with media to get your trailer out.
