PC zealots? I mean, it's not like this thread was made bash the PC version or anything.. . . . "BOOM!"

Anyway, nobody can speak badly about this as the Microsoft Damage Control teams are watching. I happened to find someone who they black bagged. Speak carefully everybody!

I was just trying to find a way to make an Alan Wake Pun... A Waken? See it?

Yeah...

Nope, they just won't get to play it at all.

Does Microsoft realize they desperately need gaming on the PC? Windows is tied to gaming, and it's a huge reason many people buy Windows instead of just putting Linux on their machine, and Open Office by default. The more Microsoft fucks PC gamers the more they are fucking their real revenue stream by a wide margin for one of their more worthless divisions.

Sorry, I'm half asleep.

...... no... not much better.

Do you honestly think that people will switch to Linux because of games when most people don't even know how to switch from Internet Explorer. Making people switch to consoles is beneficial to MS since they get royalties which they don't on the PC so in terms of business its a very smart decision.

Yes. Linux or Mac. Do you honestly think people who can get their gaming elsewhere will stick with something so bad as Windows? Also people don't even have to know about how to switch from IE, considering OEM companies are already selling machines with pre-installed Linux on them. Trust me, Microsoft is fucking their real revenue stream for nothing. On the upside, this makes shit a lot easier on google, so I guess there is a silver lining after all.

I thought this was old news. :OOO

Most people don't know anything about pc's past starting up their browser, good luck teaching them how to use Linux. PC games aren't going anywhere their just being made by smaller developers, its becoming the home of indie companies. The bigger developers are going to consoles. Thats just a fact that you can't get around, it has nothing to do with Windows, Mac or Linux. Unless Apple start funding major first party titles for their Mac gaming is staying on windows for the foreseeable future, like it or not. 

Yes and you don't seem to realize gaming on Windows was what sold millions and millions of copies of Windows, and by association Office. Also people can easily go to Macs, not just Linux. Making indie games using online stuff like Flash is even more popular than those indie games you mention. Meanwhile Linux Mint already comes with Flash, it's more of a windows clone than even Ubuntu. Gaming is the only big plus, alongside price (and console gaming can tell you people don't mind that much at all as they are willing to bend over for the biggest PoS), Windows has had over Macs as of late, and Microsoft if going through great lengths to hurt its primary revenue stream for a the relatively worthless Xbox devision.
