Master Chief fue quien le dio vida a Xbox. Ahora es el propio Chief quien le da el tiro de gracia a la marca que él mismo puso en el mapa. Como Cortana tras su encuentro con el Gravemind Corporativo. Una corrupción que obliga a John a destruir lo que más quería proteger.

Your Game Pass subscription jumped 50% five months ago. Went from $20 to $30 a month. And now Microsoft’s brand new Xbox CEO is already talking about making it cheaper again. That whiplash tells you everything about where Xbox actually is right now. Asha Sharma took over in February, replacing Phil Spencer. She’s never worked in gaming. Not one day. She ran Microsoft’s AI platform before this. Before that she was running operations at Instacart (the grocery delivery app), where she helped take the company public and make it profitable. And before Instacart, she ran Facebook Messenger’s product team and grew it to billions of users. Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella picked her for one reason: she’s good at getting more people to use things. First thing she did? Killed the “This Is An Xbox” campaign, the one that tried to call everything from Amazon Fire TV sticks to laptops an “Xbox.” Then she started looking at the price tags she inherited. The numbers explain why. Xbox console sales dropped 70% compared to the year before in November 2025. That was the worst month for US console sales since 1995. The holiday quarter was ugly too: Microsoft’s gaming business brought in $5.99 billion, down 9%, and console sales specifically fell 32%. For context, the Xbox Series X/S has sold about 34 million consoles since 2020. PlayStation 5 has sold 89 million. Game Pass has roughly 34 to 40 million subscribers, though Microsoft stopped sharing the exact number two years ago. The Netflix part is where this gets wild. Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said he and Sharma have been tossing around ideas for a joint subscription bundle. Netflix has 325 million subscribers. They’re already streaming games straight to people’s TVs. Their cheaper plan with ads ($7.99 a month) reaches 190 million viewers, and those ads made Netflix $1.5 billion last year. They’re aiming for $3 billion this year. So think about what each side brings to the table: Xbox has hundreds of games and the tech to stream them. Netflix has 325 million living rooms. Each one has exactly what the other one needs. Quick math on what a bundle might look like. The cheapest Game Pass tier costs $10. Netflix’s ad plan costs $8. Package them together at $15 and both companies suddenly reach people they never could alone. Netflix gets games that give subscribers a reason to stick around. Xbox gets its library in front of 325 million households instead of 37 million. Nadella didn’t go looking for a gaming person. He went looking for someone who knows how to grow a customer base. That’s literally all Sharma has done her whole career, from Messenger to Instacart to Microsoft’s AI tools. The cheaper Game Pass and the Netflix conversations are the same bet: Xbox is becoming something you can use on whatever screen you already own, whether Microsoft made it or not.

Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him. In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world. Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters. Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out. Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.

🚨🚨🚨 ISRAEL JUST MADE THE SINGLE MOST DANGEROUS MILITARY DECISION OF THE ENTIRE WAR. AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨 Israel and the U.S. struck South Pars — the LARGEST gas field on the planet. But here's what they either didn't know or didn't care about: South Pars is jointly managed by Iran AND Qatar. They didn't just attack Iran. They attacked the energy backbone of their OWN Gulf allies. Let that sink in. 💀 The IRGC just declared ALL major energy facilities across the entire GCC as "direct and legitimate targets" — and warned strikes are coming in the "COMING HOURS." 💀 Listed targets: Qatar's LNG complex, Saudi Aramco facilities, UAE oil terminals — EVERYTHING. 💀 Saudi Aramco has already EVACUATED workers from the SAMREF refinery in Yanbu. They're not waiting. They KNOW what's coming. 💀 Iranian hackers have ALREADY hit Aramco's digital systems — posting images and issuing threats to PARALYZE their infrastructure. 💀 Multiple EXPLOSIONS just heard in Riyadh — confirmed by Reuters, AFP, and AP. Sirens sounding in the Saudi capital. Do you understand the scale of what's happening? ⚠️ Qatar's LNG complex is the LARGEST on Earth. It supplies 30% of the world's liquefied natural gas. If Iran hits it — Europe's heating supply DISAPPEARS overnight. Not in months. OVERNIGHT. ⚠️ Saudi Aramco is the most valuable company on the PLANET — worth $1,800,000,000,000. Its refineries process 12 MILLION barrels per day. One successful strike takes 10% of the world's oil OFFLINE. ⚠️ In 2019, a SINGLE drone attack on Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq facility knocked out 5.7 million barrels per day and sent oil up 15% in ONE session. Iran now has 10x the motivation and NOTHING left to lose. They're showing you "precision strikes on Iranian targets." They're NOT showing you that those strikes just gave Iran the JUSTIFICATION to destroy every oil facility from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to the UAE. Here's the logic — follow it carefully: → You bomb a gas field that's JOINTLY OWNED with Qatar → Qatar — your own Gulf ally — publicly condemns you → Iran uses the attack as justification to target ALL Gulf energy → IRGC formally declares Gulf facilities as "legitimate targets" → Aramco starts EVACUATING refineries → Explosions hit RIYADH → You didn't weaken Iran. You gave them the excuse to burn down the ENTIRE Gulf's economy. If this was a "strategic victory," why is Aramco evacuating workers RIGHT NOW? If Iran's military is "degraded," why are 6 Gulf nations scrambling to protect their oil fields from an attack they believe is IMMINENT? Complete silence. You don't evacuate the world's most valuable company unless you KNOW what's coming. The IRGC said "coming hours." Not days. Not weeks. HOURS. And every Gulf state just went from spectator to TARGET. This is no longer a war between the U.S. and Iran. This is a war that's about to ERASE the Gulf's entire energy infrastructure — the infrastructure that powers HALF the planet. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 They don't want you seeing this. Follow + RT to beat the algorithm. 🚨

He's in so far over his head. He's lost control. 25th amendment now. End the war. This is insane.

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

So let me get this straight: Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz is ,unfair’ but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country is what? Fair?

America having a rare chance to legitimately call themselves world champions at one of the sports they invented and bottling it is very funny.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

You can't possibly understand how much joy it brings me that microsoft and nvidia are getting *increasingly* upset over people calling their AI products 'slop'

The enshitifcation of everything continues

Una Influencer se gasta 2500 Millones en una fiesta de 15 años y la Dian pidiéndome a mi declaración de renta. Estamos es mirando pa donde no es.

🚨Imagínate si este GOLAZO desde 70m lo mete Lamine Yamal... 😱 Saldría en TODOS los periódicos, lo llamarían 'el nuevo Messi' y pedirían Balón de Oro YA. Pero como es Arda Güler, meh. ¿Injusto o qué?x.com/vjedgyfox/stat…

So very concretely the outcome of the war so far is that Iran controls the world's most critical energy chokepoint, and Russia can now sell their own oil freely and at a premium. I can't think of another U.S. war that's been such an obvious strategic disaster so quickly: normally it takes them a couple of years...

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Finland is ranked the happiest country in the world. It has strong unions, top-ranked pensions and universal health care — despite spending far less than the U.S. What lessons should Americans take from the Finnish model? twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
