And not a soul was surprised, this is 100% deserved, the PC community is seething after MS promised they'd be "focusing on PC again" a couple of years back. If this is them focusing on PC; I'd rather they didn't and leave it to those who have a clue how to do things right and without forcing things on consumers.

I rememebr reading this thread on Gaf a few years back. It details the list and documented promises MS has made to PC gamers over the years and as you can see, hardly any of them have worked out if at all: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=88868188&postcount=177

THis just shwos that MS doesn't really see PC gaming as something to allow roaming freely, they would rather control it and keep it in a box (hence the whole GFWL and the fact that they never once said they would completely do away with the system and Win 10/store is the result).

When I first heard of 10 I was positive that maybe for once things would finally start to turn out right, but then the free update turned out to be finnicky and attaching itself to your mobo when the free update expires which meant your previous 7-8 key would be rendered worthless and the current OS being chained to a single mobo which meant less options to upgrade your rig let alone a new one without having to call up the hotline in India and rabble on for a new key or paying £100 for a new one, those to me are the same old shit options that haven't really changed and it shows that MS hasn't either.

The only way minds like that truly work is when they are near the brink of death and show the will to survive, right now I don't think they give a rats ass about the state they are in because they certainly haven't spun around the wheel since their promise back in 2013 to PC gaming let alone the myriad of promises from well over a decade ago.

GFWL originally cost $50 a year? *AVGN voice* What were they thinking...
