Forums - PC Discussion - Universal Windows Platform is Atrocious for PC Gaming



Around the Network

I'm hoping it fails and fails badly. Microsoft has a terrible track record when it comes to PC gaming and I do NOT want to grant them a monopoly in that market.



I honestly don't like the path MS is going down on because to me the path they have chosen is going the opposite way of what PC gaming is supposed to be, to them they see it as an open box that they think they can suddenly devour and close with their own branded ribbon, where they clamp it down and lock it tight from being an open platform that is so very diverse, to a closed one where everything is an app or has to run by them first or where you have to join them or die out, that to me isn't really open, that's "I take what I want and give the orders, you do or you die by my hand", that's not really what I want from them at all.

How do you embed YT vids on this site? The way I'm used to doesn't seem to work here.

Copy the link but leave out the Https, click rich text reply (on the forum) and then click the little media green film reel icon in the options and paste the link in the box and then click "insert" and you;re good to go.

Gracias.



The answer to competition isn't gaming services on Windows, but more games for Linux and Apple, so make those viable and vibrant options for people who buy PCs with gaming as a primary or equal priority to general purpose uses.

Steam, GoG and G2A shouldn't abandon PC, but they should really work hard to comrehensively support Linux and Mac.

I was going to list everything they needed to do - to be worth using.
Then I realized - just become steam.

Mods is number one for me though.

All they have to do really is just become Steam and support what they do along with creating a huge library of games, they'd easily win over the PC crowd if they only listened and acted like they were asked to.

Mods are the same for me as well.

This is why i wont switch to Windows 8 or 10. MS wants to slowly turn Windows into Android, it has the exact same restriction like iOS or android
