your mother
I could fix her (up)
Making them. Perfection takes time.
this
let them cook
Starfield alone will be a game you can play for a decade or more
Elder Scrolls VI will be even better
You will play call of goyslop annually and you will be happy
It's a suicide pact 😀
strangle the industry and minimize competitors while reducing costs
howcome every time microsoft makes a new os its worse than the last one? maybe theyre evil
>every time microsoft makes a new os its worse than the last one
THIS
Of course you are the merchandise. Well your data is.
Windows 7 was the best OS. Each one after was a downgrade.
Microsoft's "good" OSs are only perceived as good because the one before it was actually abysmal.
Sort of but even so, Win7 was the last time I remember trying the latest version of Windows and thinking "holy shit, this is so much better!".
Didn't you watch that one simpsons episode? They just buy the competition to shut it down.
>spend billions buying studios
>DONT make games in order to turn a profit
how is this a business model?
they arent spending billions
Why even post this drivel you braindead fucking gay?

>Microsoft announced its acquisition of Activision Blizzard for 68.7 billion U.S. dollars
are you THAT desperate for attention?
Its about marketshare and the long game.
Something, something Black Rock Retirement fund stock market scam.
Selling your data. From pictures, documents to probaby biodata.
>microsoft literally failed to capitalize on ANY of the PC gaming market share
This is proof positive that Microsoft has literally failed upward.
Windows and "Microsoft Solutions" are basically Steam on steroids. Just by existing their existence is secured.
Look at her surging with lust for the guy that just hit her in the face. Her panties were probably so wet they were permanently ruined.
I hate women.
I love women
youre supposed to
Me too, young girls specifically are really nice.
hypothetically if I had a gf that was well over 18 but had a body like that... im not a pedo right
hypothetically
Of course not, just because a girl is short and skinny doesn't mean she doesn't deserve your love.
hypothetical me thanks you anon
total hypothetical haha
No problem, Anon.
Don't get too rough with her even if she begs for it, tiny bodies can't take much punishment, sadly...
You will burn in hell for your sins. Laugh now, you won't have time when judgement comes.
I literally talked about a consenting adult well above legal age. Your values are deranged.
>not considered cp because these images are nearly two decades old
you win this round pedo
>clothed non-sexualized girl is cp
grrrr
The entire video game sphere is fans going
>GIVE US THESE GAME(S) WE WANT IT, WE'VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS YOU WILL MAKE TONS OF MONEY
And publishers/developers going nah let's make another random game no one asked for (at a snails pace) or not doing anything at all
I just want a new RTS that doesn't suck 🙁
They're killing the industry, to be everything for Xbox and Microsoft Store
Same reason facebook bought up all the VR devs but hasn't made a single good game. These big megacorps are horribly inefficient and are at the mercy of the whims of their incompetent executives who wield supreme power
Nah, with FB it's different. They want to force everyone into their walled garden and away from an open platform like PC. The problem here is that the hardware on their Quest headset is fucking trash - as any reasonable person would expect. Their headsets cannot run any large or complex games at anything resembling an acceptable level of quality compared to the rest of the gaming industry so devs just release low budget games, squeezed down to fit in the terrible hardware's constraints. What results is basically shovelware in a very large percentage. So FB basically wants to kill PC VR but at the same time the locked down hardware they have is awful.
With MS it's different and truly inexplicable. They have no reason to sabotage either PC or Xbox since they're both their platforms, yet their game output from all the studios they own doesn't even reach the level of middling.
maybe so their shit games will seem better as there is less competition? i dunno, its the same shit with the zuck, he bought out all the vr studios and we still havent seen shit for it
>I could fix her (up)
Looks like she already got fixed up.
Cause games take years to produce now and cause they have fuck you money
the studios they bought will keep making their own games, most of them multi-plat. Microsoft is going to exit the console race and just produce games
Because game development takes way longer than you ever imagined. Normally, by the time a game is advertised, it's already been in development for like 2 years. They just keep quiet about it, because it doesn't benefit them start announcing earlier than that.
You only hear about games at the start of their development when they're kickstarted. Because the devs are begging for money. That's why you think every kickstarter game is a scam, because you heard about them from the very beginning, and it takes like 4-6 years to make a game. But in your mind, games should come out in about 1 year from when you first hear of it.
Imagine making excuses for Microsoft you braindead gay. Series X has been out 3 years now, and in every previous console generation games for the new console are started years before it even releases.
Both Series X and PS5 are completely stillborn
It's going to be a long generation, bucko. Better get used to it now. Games are going to start coming in another year or 2, and then they're going to milk the console for another 5 years while they actually sell games.
>Two more years!
what is the sauce on this image? i've seen it for awhile but never knew where it came from
I am in the same boat for real where the hell did this image come from
Microsoft has a very long reputation of self-sabotage. Remember Zune?
Zune was so superior to an iPod it wasnt even fucking funny though
her face after I introduce myself with a slap to her cheek
Sesso! SESSSOOOOOOO!!!!!!
the girl wearing the spanish top in these vids is the best. not sure how to find it anymore.
Vanessinha Gaucha Brasileirinhas
Money. Also microshit destroys everything they touch.
It's called Capture and Kill.
>Microsoft has bought out like half the fucking industry
Source? I'm pretty sure China and Embracer have far more.
>Embracer, the dumbasses that greenlit the saints row reboot and made it epic shit eclusive. Effectively killing off the franchise.
>China, LOL
???
The question was, the fact that they own more studios. What was the purpose of your post?
they only bought them like a year ago dude, it takes 3-4 years to make a decent game with a new studio
first and foremost, its a software company. The execs have no idea how to manage game companies under their umbrella.
MS released more good games this gen from all their studios than Sony did and yet nobody complains about Sony's mismanagement of their studios.
Can someone tell me, also in relation to Microsoft, what the so-called stocks that I can buy/trade in companies?
Hi-Fi Rush was really good.
I NEED to know who di girl is.
Only thing I remember of this chick is the original pic had subtitles saying "You hit like a bitch".
It was at some county fair and a wigger hit her in the face when she was talking shit, and she just licked the blood off her upper lip and kept talking shit.
the cuck was savagely mogged and retreated with his tail between his legs
where is the video?
Those studious were pre-bankrupt if you didn't notice. All independent studios that developed single-player experiences for consoles and PC were one step before reorganization to mobilenftsteaming developer.
Even big fish like Ubisoft doesn't feel well about the future
>hasnt put out any games?
The development cycle for any game is 3-5 years long.
idk but it's funny
lmao Microsoft
lol
Their operating system is just as stagnant with more spyware and ads year over year.
I'm glad I enjoy indie and also GNU+Linux
>use Windows XP
>it werks but everything is bloated and slow
>fall into coma for 20 years
>use Windows 11
>it werks but everything is bloated and slow but with more spyware
why is the future so lame?
time is money silly boy
maybe it's time to get an ssd grandpa, w11 is not bloated or slow
>implying
I have that garbage on my work laptop. It has and SSD. It's slow and bloated.
They're finding ways to nickle & Dime Gamers.
If you watch this video this bitch is a real life Harley Quinn
Link the video i cannot find it
Is it normal to get really turned on by girls with bloody/bruised faces?
communism. one megacorp eating everything
>one megacorp eating everything
>communism
>Why is Windows so popular?
Games
>Why do other operating systems struggle for games?
DirectX is proprietary to Windows
>And who enforces that?
The government
Every time a single company is doing something bad, it's always because they have some form of legal backing. They couldn't do it without government help, which begs the question of whether the problem is the company or the government, or if there's even a difference between the two.
They're storing energy; increasing their power level.
Probably reworking what they got to conform to some esg rating.
Enjoy your morons and trannies.
W11 is just bizarre. You have to right click to open a menu, so you find the option to open the old menu where the actually usefull items are. What-the-fuck.
W10 was the same. You still have to pull out the Win7 control panel for some things, which is basically the same as the XP control panel, which is really just the same as the Win 95 control panel.
>falling for the w11 meme
OH NONONONO
is the video to this image appears to be wiped off the internet, tried finding it for you anons but now it's gone for some reason, i guess i should have downloaded it.
I've been looking for it for over an hour now, no luck yet. I'm ten minutes away from giving up.
It's driving me crazy, i can't believe it just disappeared like this
Are you also having the issue with twitter where links won't load? Yandex reverse image search has answer google doesn't, but they won't load for me for some reason.
Twitter links load, but it's a whole lot of nothing
Every company they purchased is a shadow of their former selves.
Reducing the amount of games coming out on psquintuple so only the chud of us and horizon zero hot females are the only choices SNOYS get.
Would there be any negative to banning acquisitions?
Companies would just declare bankrupcy, workers go back to unemployment status and who knows what happens to their IP, probably a scavenge hunt or sell them to the highest buyer before closing doors.
There's no real way to formulate a law for that without prohibiting the sale of companies at all.
>Well, I built a great company here but I want to retire so I'll be selling it.
>NO! THAT MEANS SOMEONE ELSE WILL ACQUIRE IT AND ACQUISITIONS ARE ILLEGAL! YOU HAVE TO DISBAND IT!!!
because FUCK gamers
If they bought half the industry Playstation wouldn't exist.
They tank their game business to get merget. Look, we are just wee little microsoft, please let us buy everything
Trying to get a bunch of blue hairs to be productive.
>What the FUCK are they doing?
They're doing it to spite their competitors anon.
Nobody cares about making a soulless megacorp more money and signing away rights to their work in perpetuity. Any effort is met with grossly mismanaged middle management. There's 0 incentive to even try it's like expanding your empire farther than you have generals to maintain order. It's smarter to just collect your paycheck and put in the bare minimum. Microsoft can't spend money fast enough they could do nothing and make trillions more
Modern business strategy is to buy things with ESG money so no one else can have them, not to actually make stuff
