Ode to the Open Zone

Open Zone, oh Open Zone, you're so fun
I really think that you're number 1

When I get banned, you're there for me
So I can still comment on n4g

You're home to fanboys of all kinds
I'd love to kick all of their behinds

Many things in the Gamer Zone that go unsaid
They end up in the Open Zone instead

You're stress relief to the max
It's good to get those feelings off our backs

Internet bullies love you so
You're they place they love and know

Stupid people, angry, dumb, and smart (huh?) people too
Let loose their cannons all at once into you


You're the one to comfort the banned
You're the place they make a last stand

Open Zone, Open Zone, I love thee
Just like how all the fanboys love me

=)

I really need a microphone because my tenor voice woudl suit this perfectly.

Althoguh it's hardly very consistent in the syllable department.

LJWooly6640d ago

Ready... GO!

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.

Jingsing48d ago

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….

S2Killinit48d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing48d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9248d 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
