"DA Golaith" aka "Surfering Dude" aka "zofia" has hacked into Surfer Girl's Google and Blogger account (both accounts share the same login under Google.) The hacker is now using Surfer Girl's account to post on Surfer Girl's blog, and he is going through hundreds of her emails and spilling her secrets.
The hacker, using bits and pieces of information revealed by Surfer Girl in her blogs about her boyfriend and a Scottish soft rock band, figured out that her account password is "+R@\/!$" ("tRaViS").
Reading through her emails, DA Golaith claims that Surfer Girl has been communicating with Ubisoft, Insomniac, Official PlayStation Magazine, GameSpot, Kotaku, among others. DA Golaith will be able to slowly spill all her deepest secrets (and torment her) - as well as who from what companies have been leaking company secrets to her.
This can get very ugly.
DA Golaith also claims that her short name is Cathy, and that he has obtained a picture of her in water surf. DA Golaith is adding new entries, comments and information in Surfer Girl's blog (as "Surfer Girl") as he is reading through her private emails.
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.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
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.
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" -
GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
This is paid propaganda and nothing more. This is all drummed up by her stupid ass. Anyone who believes this is a fool!

She's a moronic twit and one who's basically out to seek attention cause she's morbidly obease. That girl's site didn't get hacked. This is her and the media's way of giving her more attention... Dear Gawd, I'm gonna say it... I find Sadie more appealing than this sorry sack of bird ****.
I have one of the biggest followings in the videogame realm, jackson. I get over 100,000 hits a month. I have over 700 dedicated readers. I also don't have to stoop to propaganda to keep them. Call me what you will and like me, love me or hate me... I'm GAMESBLOW and that accounts for alot when it comes to online personas.
If this is real then DA Goliath is a douche-bag. I'm done with this story.
Anyone can see, with a brain and logic, that that is her or one of her friends stagging as herself. Case and point... that sure is a boring hacker. Doesn't give out too much info and listen to that trite drivel she tried pawning off. "I forgot about the scottich rock band that shares the same name" Yeah, whatever... Just shut up. youv'e been had and I hope you burn for it. Sony defense force sure did. You need to next.
If this is real, then this Goliath person is a freak stalker. I lean more toward gamesblow's opinion though that this is probably just a publicity stunt. Has she shut her site down? Has the hacker revealed any of the stuff that she claimed to be unable to come out and say before? I'm going to have to check this out to know for sure, which means that it is likely that I'll play right into the scheme if such a scheme does exist.
