| Chazore said: MS supports the win 10 side of things, not the win 7-8 side, nor the Linux or Mac. There are *some* MS games on PC from this gen. The games they recently announced were more peace-meal offerings, and nothing like say Crackdown 3, Sunset overdrive and the mainline Halo series in it's complete form, let alone the previous Halo title, as well as Gears. The AoE I remaster/remake is exclusive to Win 10 and not Steam as well, and we also know that the upcoming one is likely to be locked to just the Win 10 store. No, I'm going off of the past, present and future of MS, not some past that makes it an easier argument for you to throw in the trash bin (much as you'd like it to be that way).
It requires you to adhere to one OS and one store alone, unlike Steam where you are able to buy said games across multiple OS's, same goes for GoG as well. It's not fine by you, because you persists to argue against it and throw said "hate" into the bin at any turn. You haven't once admitted fault in both your holed arguments and MS itself. You have something very, very strong to hold onto, lest you admit being weak by letting it go. You aren't the first person to display this, and you will not be the last either.
Yeah, I've got a Switch and play Nintendo games, but let's not kid ourselves when I say that we all have a core bias. Even fence sitters have their own. You make whatever suits your own assumptions all the time, so you talk big. |
Of course MS will support and push there OS because thats why PC gaming is what it is today. Windows 10 doesnt restrict you from downloading Steam or any other conpetitive App.
MS's big real competitor is Apple, and unlike Apple MS isnt restrictive. Apple could buy Obsidian and lock them to Apple only devices, would you much prefer that? Sony and Nintendo would do the exact same thing by closing them to one platform.
Your preference is your preference, you choose to boycott Win10/Xbox so be it, as for me, i couldnt care less if MS buy Obsidian or not, because i know weather there owned by MS or not i can still access there games without changing my hardware, i dont care about the petty little things like logging into another App. Heck i brought BF4 and Dead Space 3 which were exclusive to Origins. I still played them and enjoy them.
I havnt admitted fault because i dont see a fault in this deal. I dont hold personal grudges over MS so this does not affect me.
End of the day, weather we like it or not, it seems MS are buying Obsidian which is considered normal buisness practice, big companies buy little companies and they mainly do it to make money not to lose so id assume MS have big plans for them and now that they might be financially secure we can see what protential they have.
