What the heading says is how I feel right now. Maybe I'm not that drawn to my consoles as others are, or that I don't have that need to create a towering wall of text defending a company that cares more about profit than words. Yes, I'm talking about fan boys. It's an ongoing issue and I have no idea why this keeps coming up. Well, it has been brought up countless times and will continue to do so in the future. Even when the apes will rule the earth.
I often find myself alienated from these topics or comments about how a system is better than the other in some small way. I don't know. It's just that I look at those comments and I think to myself "Wow. How can a person be so passionate about a machine that they would curse and slander another persons' opinion about said machine?" Well, it happens all too often and it does get out of hand a lot these days.
People, it's just an entertainment machine. It can't love you back like your girlfriend/boyfriend, or wife/husband. This can be said about any gaming console, so what I'm talking about covers all generations. Do you really think Cliffy B starts off his day with thoughts of how wonderful the XBOX 360 is? Or Hideo Kojima with the PS3?
I'm not trying to put you guys down, but it seems a bit too much when there's cussing, non-factual proof, and even more so now, racism. Perhaps I'm ranting on about a topic that shouldn't even be brought up. Just had to get this out of my head.
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.
Tribalism is a hell of an instinct.
some people never evolve ;)
We don't have fanboys here... A fanboy is someone that is very obsessed with something, so much that he defends the company to the death. Most people here don't even have time to play games because they are here 24/7 arguing and not playing games.
What we have here are a just a bunch of immature people that don't respect the opinion of anybody.
An example of a fanboy is Bloodmask. That guy dies for Microsoft.
We need to stop the fanboy BS and start talking about what we really need around here. And that's respect and stronger rules on the comment section. This site is the only one with such a big amount of rabid trolls on the entire net. This is not something general, but a problem of N4G itself. We're being bashed by a lot of sites because of this.
This is the nature of a site were anybody can submit their BS as articles.
has become the "4Chan" of the gaming news sites? That I would agree to ;)
All that we can do as gamers, be it casual or hard core, is to give structural feedback to what ever article we comment on and ignore the BS that goes on. Don't approve the trash articles, and take away the bubbles of those who act immature.
That's all we really can do. It's really up to the admins to change things around here.
