Actions speak louder than words (which Phil has been known to spin). I really hope this fails, as xbox is turning into something it shouldn't. People can say whatever, but I feel the brand is become devauled by it. And putting it in the Windows Store is a doomed plan, as it is a crap place to put full priced games in. Trust me, this is just to appease the "pcmasterrace" crowd and make a quick buck and try to increase Windows 10 adoption, when things don't work, Microsoft will end it. They did the same thing with the 360, with "focusing on PC", and it ended in disaster.

 

I've been an avid defender of Microsoft, but this seems like a total backstab to xbox gamers who've been given hell since 2013. For 3 years, they stated QB was exclusive, now suddenly its possible to port, right after the holiday season! Every exclusive that was promised suddenly isn't, once again after holiday sales. I call BS. Phil is turning shaddy and all corporate, and I don't like it. His plans for helping the Xbox brand get sales have failed, and what's unfortunent is that he's now ruining the brand's prospects yet again, just when things where starting to get better! E3 will be it for me. If microsoft simply continue's this push for PC just for software sales, I may just quit gaming altogether (I hate PS for reasons I won't explain, and I'll never game on PC), or if Nintendo actually releases a console with 3rd party support, maybe that is where I go. People can call me petty for saying this, but I don't have unfaithful loyalty to Microsoft. If I feel they're just trying to use gamers, I won't support that.

I feel ya, Super. You know I'm not an Xbox guy, but I'd be livid it Sony started giving all of its exclusives away. I hope Microsoft stops and realizes that they need to keep reasons to buy their console, too. People are going to buy their OS, regardless (especially gamers), so they don't need to do this.

Exactly. And since you refer to me as super, I think you know I'm in the xbox camp. I've always loved the brand, but this is no longer the brand I've known of. Hopefully Phil realizes this, and stops it. But only time will tell...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
