October 26, 2025, 10:32 PM EDT. Microsoft's AI investments are driving record revenue even as its workforce shrinks and cost controls tighten. The company reports fiscal 2025 results with revenue of $281.7 billion and net income of $101.8 billion, led by Azure and AI-related services that have expanded the cloud footprint to 70 regions and 400 data centers. CEO Satya Nadella will receive a total compensation of $96.5 million for the year - a 22% increase - largely through performance stock awards rather than tenure. Amid this wealth creation, 9,000 job cuts and a wide gap between CEO and median employee pay (480 to 1) linger over questions about benefiting the broader workforce. While Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry show traction, long-term returns remain uncertain.

October 26, 2025, 10:30 PM EDT. Cancelled God of War multiplayer details emerge as screenshots surface online. The Bluepoint-led project, shelved alongside a Blur Studio game, was never officially confirmed. Screens from an in-progress build suggest the game would have returned to the Greece setting from the original trilogy, with Hades potentially involved. Source outlet mp1st cautions about reliability. Details on gameplay remain scarce, but the project hints at a live-service concept. Despite uncertainty, the story adds intrigue about what Bluepoint envisioned before the series moved forward, possibly tying into new media like an Amazon TV show or a 2.5D entry.

October 26, 2025, 10:26 PM EDT. Fresh leaks surface around Bluepoint's cancelled God of War project, showing an unfinished adventure with Greek-inspired architecture. The studio, once famed for remakes, faced rumors of Metal Gear and Killzone revivals, but the title was scrapped as Sony pivoted to live-service plans. The leaked images, shared by Mp1st, hint at a possible single-player focus if revived, though concrete details remain elusive. Speculation has ranged from a Bloodborne remake to a return to the original God of War, but with the live-service version halted, any release would likely be years away. Fans can view the imagery now and await official word on Bluepoint and Sony's next steps.

October 26, 2025, 10:24 PM EDT. Bluepoint Games' cancelled live-service God of War for PS5 surfaced through MP1ST and Bloomberg reports. The screenshots hint at a return to the franchise's Greek setting, with wide, open environments built for multiplayer and assets like pots and a location named Hades' Armory that changes in a 'cursed' state. The project was cancelled along with Bend Studio's Days Gone live-service game after a Sony review, per Bloomberg. Bluepoint Games has since been recruiting for third-person melee action roles, suggesting ongoing work on large-scale combat titles. If the Greek era returns, insiders speculate a 2.5D take potentially launching in 2026.

October 26, 2025, 10:22 PM EDT. SoundHound AI has moved higher on strong revenue growth as its conversational AI platform gains adoption with names like Chipotle, Lucid, Hyundai, and major banks. In Q2, sales jumped 217% to $42.7 million, prompting a raised 2025 revenue guide to $173 million. Yet the stock carries risk: the company posted GAAP losses of $0.19 per share (vs. $0.11 a year earlier) and a non-GAAP loss of $0.03. Gross margins have fallen from 66.5% to 58.4%, and free cash flow is negative by about $25 million. While growth is real and customer wins are solid, the valuation appears premium and profitability remains elusive, arguing against a straightforward buy now call despite the technology's promise.
