Windows Live Gold Service

Why is everyone so fast to complain about it when they hear the price but don't even think about what they are getting out of it? The price will be 50$ a year but before you post "How could MS do this to PC gamers!" think about the advantages you are getting from the service. Unified friends list, achievements, matchmaking, Live Anywhere, and most likely all of the other features that come with Xbox Live. If you already own an Xbox Live account you don't even have to pay more your account will just be carried over onto your computer for free. The Windows Live service will also include the Silver Account and all the things accompanied by the Xbox Live Silver Accounts. You are not being forced to use the service to play games online but its a better way to play games online.

Of course none of these features I have talked about have been officially confirmed my Microsoft but by an educational guess you would think that they would try to imitate the Xbox Live service as much as they possibly can for Windows Live Gold service.

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.

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

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.

Tanktopmaster9213d 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
