"Infinity Ward's twitter page (as well as FourZeroTwo's) has alerted GamePlay Unlimited to a series of what seem to be beta invites from Infinity Ward going around for the next Call of Duty. These are fake, do not open them. The e-mails originate from [email protected]. If you get an e-mail from this address delete it."
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
change the title. its too confusing.
either change it to COD6 or COD:MW2
Don't you mean COD6...
they did NEVER say that W@W was CoD5 lol it is world at war NOT COD5
lol
As a few of you mentioned, the reason I did not name the story Modern Warfare 2 or CoD6 is because the e-mail address these fakes were coming from contains CoD5 in it. Naming the story fake CoD6 or MW2 beta invites out when the email is from a CoD5 addy would confuse people.
Also we do not know if MW2 will be called that or CoD5 or CoD6.
i hate duches that say this is cod5. this is the 6th cod game so its cod6 dammit!
