| cAPSLOCK said: People keep bringing up the old saying "competition is good" Yes, competition is good, especially for OPERATING SYSTEMS. Steam is available for Windows and Mac, and probably in the future Linux. GFWL will only be available for Windows. Thanks to steam on Mac they're already predicting something of a flourishing of Mac gaming in 2011. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/08/mac-gaming-renaissance-coming-in-2011-powered-by-steam.ars That's the competition I want -- the ability to choose my operating system. Besides, if PC gamers didn't notice, MS isn't very friendly to PC gaming. PC gamers should be HAPPY that MS is losing their stranglehold on PC gaming. With a little luck Linux will get some steam love and then choice of OS will boil down to security and stability and price. OH SHI |
So competition is good, as long as it is competing against microsoft?
Why on earth would someone choose a crappy linux OS or OSX instead of the superb windows 7 just because of "some steam love"? Windows is clearly superior product for all gamers and maybe some day GFWL will be bigger than steam too. That would be sweet!
