Hello N4Gers, Christopher here with an update on what will be happening with N4G as of tomorrow.
I don’t want to make you read an entire post before we get to the changes, so here we go:
The decision has been made to move N4G to a new system as well as change N4G from a site that is community driven in its content to one that is curated by a content team. Furthermore, there will be no comment section or user profiles with the upcoming change. The site will be an aggregated news feed.
Why not just fix N4G?
The site has seen its fair share of ongoing and escalating issues over the last five years. Through it all, none of the previous or current owners have been able to find a way to keep the site running as it is without encountering issues and ever-increasing costs. The decision was made to finally move the site to a new platform that won’t experience the same issues and ongoing costs.
Why are community features being removed?
The short of it is so that there is a focus on content curation instead of moderation. I’ve already breached the discussion of bringing it back in the future, at least with having a comments section, but I don’t want to make empty promises to you. For now, the site will forgo any form of moderation to focus on the content.
What about my site content?
We still want your content, and I want to do the best we can at promoting your content. I can’t say that things will work the same as they have regarding guidelines, but the goal is to continue to operate N4G as a place to get the latest video game news.
Once the change happens, sites can submit content to submissions@n4g.com for us to review and publish to N4G. You can also contact me directly at christopher@n4g.com for questions or to work with you however I can.
Closing Words
This change is massive. It’s sudden. No matter how you look at this, it’s a big step into a new future for N4G.
One thing is certain, without the N4G community being here day in and day out over the last twenty years this site would never have been possible. Some of you have been here for a decade and some so long that you have a space in your username. To say ‘Thank you’ seems small for the value this community has brought to this site, let alone from the contributors and moderators who kept the site going, but I say it nonetheless.
Thank you.
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.
Damn, end of an era. Gonna miss interacting with the community but hopefully y'all can find a way to bring that back eventually. If it does happen, you can bet I'll be there. Love you N4G!
Really the end of an era, been around here on and off for years, but more and more it felt like the site was held together with tape, and I will find myself visiting less and less, but I'll still be sad to see N4G as we know it go.
Also a certain user is now gonna have to find another place for his tribalism lmao.
Not the news I wanted to hear! Sorry you guys couldn’t fix the site and cover the cost. Will really miss communicating with others about gaming.
I have spent a sizable chuck of my life on this site and will miss the site as it was. All good things it would seem really does come to an end. I will miss you all and hold hope to see you again in the afterlife of whatever N4G becomes. I am... saddened but unafraid. Let us go together!
