Hi,
Just wanted to share some thoughts with you guys.
We are bashing every games developers and editors because of the strange choices they made, you know, like asking us to pay to play online, or to get beta or demo, or to get a nice avatar, or a skin, or some overpriced map pack... and god knows what else we used to obtain for free, severals years ago...
So, several months ago, my notebook died. Fc*ng piece of crap. 3 years and it's dead. Lot of my job's stuff lost with it, but it's not the problem here. The main problem was the free Bejeweled edition Popcap Games offered me and probably some millions others customers, back in 2007. November 2007 to be precise.
And some days ago, my girlfriend and me wanted to reinstall and play with it.
But the serial did not work anymore. Why? Don't know. So i asked Popcap Games why, i asked them if they were able to do anything with this problem.
To be honest, i was not expecting anything in return. Only a "we're sorry but the game you asking for help was just a limited offer and we are not providing anymore support for this specific free version you don't even pay one cent. Why don't you just buy our new amazing Bejeweled 3 and stop whining, you greedy customer!?"... You know, the kind of answer you can expect from a lot of editors. Cause a lot of editors are not greedy in excuses to ask us to pay 2 or 3 times the same content for no real and honest reason...
But No, i was wrong. It looks like Popcap Games is a serious company, making its business seriously and treating every customer with respect.
Only four days after my request, i found an email, with a new working serial and a link where to download our old beloved game.
And that, that is something i wanted to share with all of you. Yes, i am not talking about a serious game for hardcore gamer, an AAA remake or anything that's getting 1000° in an hour on this website, i am just talking about a company that respects its customers, because, that attitude is now very rare and precious. Like a Jewel.
So Thanks Again Popcap Games. Continue to take your time to make great games and for god-sake, continue to treat us with respect. :)
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.
