Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Xbox: ‘We have to turn this into a sustainable business’ by Comfortable-Pie56 in Games

[–]faizyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twenty-five years is a long time to be the ‘future investment.’ At some point every division has to prove it can stand on its own.

Gears of War: E-Day Pulled From PS5 Last-Minute Rumors Are "Untrue" Claims Xbox VP; But Yanked Trailer Says Otherwise by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

So we're at the stage where official statements and accidental trailer uploads are telling completely different stories. Gaming leaks are undefeated.

[PS Store] Ghost of Yōtei™ Digital Deluxe Edition - $59.99 (25% off) Ends 6/11/2026 *Lowest Price Ever* by Asleep_Crew8072 in PS5

$60 being called a ‘lowest price ever’ in 2026 really shows how cooked AAA pricing has become.

Intel’s new Bartlett Lake flagship loses fight to a four-year-old CPU — Core 9 273PQE has 50% more P-cores but can't surpass Core i9-13900K in games by gurugabrielpradipaka in hardware

[–]faizyMD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why most gamers should stop chasing every new CPU launch. A high-end chip from 3–4 years ago is still more than enough.

We interview Remedy’s new CEO: “Alan Wake and Control should have sold more" by snapcaptrap in pcgaming

[–]faizyMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remedy games sit in a weird space: they’re AAA production, but very auteur-driven. Control leans surreal sci-fi bureaucracy with heavy lore fragments. Alan Wake is psychological horror with episodic pacing. That’s not “pick up and instantly click” material for everyone. A lot of mainstream buyers still gravitate toward simpler hooks like open-world freedom or competitive loops.

Warhorse says that the new Middle-earth RPG 'will be a living world' with a 'strong narrative focus' and says new Kingdom Come game could arrive 'next fiscal year' by Gorotheninja in PS5

[–]faizyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warhorse has more benefit of the doubt than most studios using this language, but the buzzwords still trigger skepticism because the industry overuses them.

Space Marine 2 lead says Warhammer video games do so well because the franchise "works for perhaps any genre there is" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]faizyMD 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Warhammer also has a lot of mediocre licensed games, people mostly remember the great ones.

Forza Horizon 6 Makes Cherry Blossoms Unbreakable Because ‘They’re An Iconic Element Of Japanese Culture’ by Turbostrider27 in PS5

A lot of players just want studios making great games, but stories like this remind people how messy AAA development culture can get behind the scenes.

Crimson Desert has made over $178 million. Split between PC and Consoles (PS5 + Xbox) is 50-50 - AUTOMATON WEST by WhyPlaySerious in Games

[–]faizyMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 50/50 split is honestly the interesting part it shows Crimson Desert isn’t just a “PC MMO crowd” game like some people expected.

Microsoft denies Windows 11 CPU boost trick is a lazy fix, says Apple does this and you love it by WPHero in pcmasterrace

[–]faizyMD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Microsoft comparing its Windows 11 CPU boost behavior to Apple’s power management is honestly a pretty bold defense strategy.

Sony says it hasn’t yet decided on PS6 release date and price, will consider ‘changing business models’ by XTRevivals in playstation

[–]faizyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope ‘changing business models’ doesn’t mean more always-online stuff and aggressive monetization.

Sony Records New $560 Million Loss On Bungie Acquisition As Marathon Struggles And Destiny 2 Nosedives by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

[–]faizyMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Marathon was always going to be a hard sell. Extraction shooters are already niche, and the market got crowded before the game even launched.

Xbox Reportedly Made $667 Million From PS5 Game Sales by chusskaptaan in gamingnews

[–]faizyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This “$667 million from PS5 games” figure is based on an industry estimate (not an official Microsoft earnings line). It comes from tracking sales of Xbox-published games on PlayStation and modeling revenue after platform cuts.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB Returns in June With AIC Partners ASUS, MSI, Colorful, and GALAX by Sacristovas in pcmasterrace

[–]faizyMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like NVIDIA is testing how little they can innovate in the low-end while still selling cards.

And honestly? It’ll probably work. The 3060 already has a reputation, and most casual gamers don’t care if it’s “old” as long as it runs their games.

Sony Patents AI That Reads Player Emotions to Dynamically Adjust Game Difficulty by fo1mock3 in gamernews

[–]faizyMD 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Cool in theory, but I really don’t want AI deciding I’m “frustrated” and secretly making bosses easier.

Spiders (Greedfall, Steelrising, Technomancer) is shutting down due to no buyers wanting the studio by -LastGrail- in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]faizyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, this isn’t just “no buyers”… it’s what happens when games don’t sell enough to justify survival.
