| Swordmasterman said: Microsoft, is bounded with the price, if they price the PC Version on windows store the same as the Steam, so there is no reason in buying the Xbox One version, even receiving the PC Version, you would be paying more than just the PC Version, if you only want the game on PC, and i don't think that people want to own the game on Both Plataform, instead of get it cheaper on the plataform they want. And if they price it in the same price for the PC, and the Xbox One Version, Steam, will be cheaper (talking about third party games), so PC Gamers, would purchase on Steam, insteady of Windows Store, and the Third Party companies will not stop of supporting Steam, only because Microsoft, started to support their Store, the Third Party, will Support the most number of Digital Stores on PC as possible, because they don't need to make another port to launch on other Store, just need to get the license to launch on other store.
I Want to know how Microsoft, will price the Third Party games on Windows Store, to try to compete with Steam. |
The thing is as well is that not only would MS have to court all those devs to sell on their store but also cut down on the fees a bit as well as pull Steam like sales to entice bigger numbers. The fact Steam openly supports modding on their client (you can mod the client, mod most games and they let you mod their own to your hearts content) which MS seems to not even mention or touch upon for their future games. Modding on PC is liki a huge advantage and boon for the platform that MS really shouldn't ignore, Firxis even got some mdoders together to release some mods for XCOM 2 before the game was even released so that mods were ready and working day 1 for the game for those that wanted to change the game a bit and that was greatly cheered and welcomed and sales are apparently doing excellent for them.
MS definitely needs to get pricing right but I wouldn't make the final move if I wasn't allowed any sort of modding.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
