Now that's REALLY funny, because I've had PS3 owners betting me under the conditions that I would stay out of THEIR forums. Actually, I also happen to troll the Wii and the PC forums from time to time ( I know shio would like me to leave as well probably), it just so happens that those fanboys don't spout nearly as much bullshit as the HD fanboys. I'm just calling out people's bullshit, just like I did with you in this thread. I agree that most PCs run Windows, games on the PC don't have anything at all to do with Microsoft at all (unles they are made by them of course), therefore your whole "lining M$'s pockets" argument fails miserably, the PC is not the Xbox where developers have to pay M$ royalties. Again you throw sales at me, but how many of those sales are sales of people who do not own a pwoerful enough computer to run the games at all? With the example of Fallout 3, with the free community content and all, if a person owns a sufficiently powerful PC and a 360, I'd be willing to bet they'd go with the PC instead of the 360 version. How is that not stealing sales?

Are you missing the part where you pay 100's of $ or £ to buy windows. And the new Games for Windows logo, means you need windows.

 

 

The games for windows logo would fall under the stipulation that Microsoft has something to do with the game to begin with, which is not the ccase with many games. Also, you don't have to have Windows to play a large selection of agmes, furthermore if you are a student you get free Windows from the college (I'd never pay for Windows).

Becasue student gets it free does not mean M$ did not make money from it. Either the college pays or the PC manufacturer like Dell. And yes the NEW games with Games for Windows need Windows to be played.
