| Synesthesia said: I Just hope this doesn't end up leading to Microsoft making 3rd party deals with publishers to release their games "Windows 10 and Windows Store" exclusive. Would end up forcing Valve and GoG to start doing their own deals making a complete seperation and fragmentation. I also feel that GoG wouldn't survive in such an environment... Praise Gaben that Valve has actually been quite open and havent done anything like that, despite clearly being able. I don't know allot about some of the stuff Durante talks about in this article to have my own opinion on some of the things Microsoft is doing, but I'll beleive what he says over anyone else. Especially over Microsoft.
If I rememebr right, Phil was asked at one point about GFWL and his reaction was that people were not ready for it... Yet. |
Forcing Valve and GoG to make the same type of deals would be such an irksome tactic from MS if that turned out to be the case, though in the end it would get me rooting more for the other two since MS would have been the one to spark off such a tactic if they did so.
I'm honestly not with Windows 10 or the MS store in general, MS has always had this thing where they simply outright avoid supporting for mods with their games let alone the community and Valve heavily support that aspect of PC gaming and the community in general. I'm far more likely to hop onto Steam OS and see Vulkan support grow than what MS has in store because as far as I can see all they have in store is what they have, not what they have for everyone the way Vulkan and other clients/vendors will have.
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.
