In 2025, Monster Hunter fell prey to profit

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million copies within three days of its release, making it the fastest-selling title in the company's history. However, the game's review ratings on Steam fluctuated between Mixed and Mostly Negative due to performance issues, leading to a drop in sales from 10 million at launch to fewer than 500,000 in a single quarter. Capcom's net sales fell by 24.7% year-over-year and profits dropped nearly 40%. The company has introduced 190 microtransaction items for the game, while significant improvements to its optimization are not expected until February.

KakaoTalk blunder: What went wrong with Korea’s largest messaging app

Kakao announced plans on September 23 to transform its KakaoTalk messaging app into a social platform similar to Instagram to boost advertising revenue. However, five days later, the company retracted this initiative due to user criticism regarding intrusive features. The controversial feed-style posts, which cluttered the user experience and complicated the app's messaging purpose, were moved to a separate section, returning the Friends tab to its previous list-style format. Following the announcement, Kakao's stock price fell by 4.67%, resulting in a market cap loss of 1.64 trillion won. KakaoTalk's business revenue has declined for two consecutive quarters, with advertising revenue being a significant portion. The recent update, called the “Big Bang Project,” was implemented without the usual user feedback process, leading to internal dissent and concerns about the company's departure from its user-centric philosophy.

Microsoft Stock Gains as Edge Promotes Over Chrome Browser Use

Microsoft's stock price has risen on the Nasdaq exchange as the company encourages users to switch from Google's Chrome browser to its Edge browser. On Tuesday, shares of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) saw a modest increase as the company reiterated its recommendation for Windows users to abandon Chrome, promoting Edge as a more secure alternative. Users attempting to close Chrome receive a notification encouraging them to switch to Edge. Chrome users outnumber Edge users by a ratio of approximately six to one. In the latest pre-release version of Edge, new flags prompt users to pin Edge to their taskbar and make it their default browser if Chrome usage exceeds 90%.

Despite these challenges, Microsoft continues to support popular gaming titles and maintains a "Strong Buy" consensus rating from analysts, with a 26.03% increase in share price over the past year and an average price target indicating an 18% upside potential.
