PSU: Reed Hastings, co-founder and CEO at NetFlix, has issued a formal apology this morning in regards to the robust feedback received from the NetFlix service separation two months ago.
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.
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.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
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" -
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Funk you Netflix. That is why I dropped you and so did 600,000 other users!
Greedy Mutha!!!
What a dumb company, why even make a change at all. You were popular, people were signing up in drobes, you had no reason to make any big change and affect users, and the changes you did need to make, you could have been way less drastic about it.
Now look at you - just bad decision, communication and management decisions. Hopefully this give BlockBuster online some business.
These f'n studios want gazillions of dollars for old @$$ movies and shows. What they are really trying to do is run Netflix into the ground so that each individual studio can have its owns online Paid service. So wishing Netflix away will only bring on more of the same but more money out of your pocket.
Netflix got too big for its own good and now everyone wants in on the action.
Honestly, the selection was pretty bad. I too stopped using it but it was a bit before the price went up and the Starz incident.
