It seems that now when I submit some news it just sits in the pending section a few days and slowly gets approved. Recently I posted a news article about the Ready to Rumble game coming out again and it failed approval, don't know why. It was new and no one has posted information about it yet. I submited an interview on an upcoming game, Frontlines: Fuel of War it sat there for nearly a week with only four approvals and eventually it failed submission. So does this system work? For what ever reason news is not being posted be it biased or just plain people not doing their job. If a news article fails then it should be noted why it failed or whoever is doing the approving should have a reason for failing or approving articles.
The one thing I know is that it was working better for me before the site was updated.
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 agree that the approval system does not always work perfectly and unless the story is controversial, it is difficult to get 5 approvals.
I think its time we see some users upgraded to N4G Editors so news can be approved faster.
I also think that there is still too much news on the front page. Articles soon get replaced on the main page and forgotten about by lesser stories which never reach 100 degrees.
Things definitely have to change, and change soon. It seems to me that NewsBot is the source for most articles being approved - a lot of articles get zero or one approvals and have a very low temperature and yet NewsBot will still come along and give it the full five votes!
We need, proven, unbiased contributors to be promoted to Editors so that they can quickly approve worthwhile stories.
Also, stories shouldn't make the front page unless they've got at least 50 degrees, but most importantly stop NewsBot approving dull stories that no one's even viewing!
agreed :)
