Microsoft Corp. is expected to post declines in profit and sales for its fiscal fourth quarter next Thursday, as the software giant contends with flagging sales of personal computers bundled with its technology.
Wall Street analysts on average estimate that Microsoft will post earnings of 36 cents a share for the period ending in June, on $14.38 billion in revenue, according to data from Thomson Reuters.
That compares to earnings of 46 cents a share and $15.84 billion in revenue in the same period a year earlier.
The shares have risen roughly 20% in the year to date, slightly ahead of the Nasdaq Composite Index, and were trading at $24.24 Friday afternoon.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
I missed the elves in my first Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough, but I won’t make that mistake again
Downplaying every rendition of elves over a period of 70+ years? What kind of headline is that?
"I won’t make that mistake again." It's impossible to that mistake again, so of course the write won't make it again.
LMAO what?! Every article that sings DD2's praises just seems off now that I've played it for myself. Its a mid game, 7/10 at best and that is generous. The elves are a joke too, much less interesting than say the Witcher 3's elves or Baldur's Gate 3's elves.
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Oh my god this is murder!
..joking
please dont approve this!!!! save all of us the headache!
lol...
I see already someone`s trying start something.
Hopefully people read article.

The report will come after a month in which Microsoft saw some encouraging signs from its recently-revamped Internet search service, called Bing. According to data from comScore Inc., Bing helped Microsoft win some search market share from "
$14.38 billion isnt much money wipe my ass with that
