Since the new site launched there have been many major tweaks affecting all the users of this site: i.e. the combination of two posting zones. One major tweak IMO would change the way users interact with this site. When a user agrees or disagrees, they should be forced to respond. Too many times people flip through articles hitting the agree/disagree button. If users were forced to post why they disagree or agree they wouldn't spam that button so much. I don't know much about programming a site but this is something the design team for this site should look into.
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 typed out a long response to this but I suck a writing and It was all jumbled together so I'll just say this. I think the system does what it's meant to do people read the comment then click disagree or agree based on there thoughts is it used wrongly sometimes yes but as long as it doesn't affect my bubbles its fine with me.
I think the reason people don't respond is because of limited bubbles I know if I disagree with someone I don't always respond because I don't want to use a bubble.
I think what I'm trying to say is that your giving your opinion and everyone's opinion is different so you should expect disagrees. my writing skills suck so I hope all that made sense lol
i think they should remove the bubble system and do something like yahoo news does it: when your ratio of disagrees far outweighs your agrees your comment is simply muted and only accessible by clicking "show".
i'm in the one bubble club and due to the sometimes asshole nature of some of my comments it's probably deserved. but 99% of the time there are interesting discussions that i'd like to engage in and can't. for a site about videogames this sh*t is treated far too seriously. news message boards have a far more liberal policy than one that's supposed to be about fun. i've seen messages calling for political assassinations on those boards....yet the posters aren't silenced like they are here.
How can you know this?
The agree/disagrees buttons are useless. Do not pay any attention to them.
Bubbles actually control how many comments one person can make, they need major tweaking.
Whoever agrees/disagrees should have their name posted.
I hit those buttons mostly when I run out of my three posts. Which are usually not enough. You should be allowed to carry on a conversation/ reply to anyone that replies to you.
Edit Especially in a thread/article/blog post that you yourself have posted up.
