That's what I've been told.

Still, as I said in the post before yours, there's no real reason for the game not appearing on Windows PC one year or two after its X1 launch.


Unless MSFT wants it to be a system seller for XBO.  Or they could push it for the Windows platform.  Completely their decision at the end but a reason could be made for or against it.

If it does come to PC that would be cool for the non-XBO people because it does look amazing and the more people who can enjoy it the better.  I wouldn't hold your breath on it though because like I said their is a reason for both cases.

I know, that's why I said one or two yeas after its X1 release, when it's no longer a system seller.

Still, it's a shame the shift that MSoft did during this (already) past gen, where they decided to ignore the PC or even worse, treat PC gaming as competition.

So would you say the same about Sony(Or any developer for that matter)?  What makes them any different if so?  They have a computer studio and just like any other developer they could put their stuff on PC.  Or why not nintendo? Just because MSFT owns windows doesnt really justify anything.

Remember they're businesses and they will use what strategies they think are best.  This goes to Nintendo, Sony, and MSFT.

MS owning windows completely justifies it. They are trying to compete against themselves.

if it was on a console I'd buy, i wouldn't buy this game.

If it was exclusive to the Wii U and published my Nintendo, we all know you'd buy it and praise it as if it was the second coming of Hiroshi Yamauchi.

reported.

On what grounds? xD

He doesn't like what you have to say, Zero makes his own rules :P

It's not the same.

Nintendo has never developed for PC or anything besides their own consoles besides their first arcade games, and the same goes for Sony. Microsoft, on the other side, was first a PC games publisher/developer (Age of Empires, Flight Simulator, etc.) that later on also became involved with consoles and a bit later killed its PC game studios (the ones of the games I mentioned above).

Besides, Remedy is not a first party studio, not even a second party one, so why can't they allow them to port it later on if they want? Allowing them to do it and making it Windows only would only benefit them because, as JerCotter7 has said, PC gaming is mostly Windows based, and launching their IPs on Win PC, would prevent Valve and its Linux based Steam Machines to gain enough ground to be a problem.

Money is money.  Would Nintendo and Sony not make money by putting their games on Windows? 

And I mentioned this before but LA Microsoft Studios is partnering up with Remedy.  LA MSFT is First Party.

Really what do you expect?  microsoft just to put their first party games on Windows and leave Xbox to die?  This is exactly why Sony and Nintendo doesnt do it either.

Windows doesn't need those games to sell millions. Xbox is a game platform and does need games to sell it.

Because, as you say, that "Money is money" is not true. Otherwise why aren't Nintendo, Sony and MSoft launching its games for smartphones?

And I already said that the situation between Nintendo/Sony and MSoft is not the same. The first ones never published on PC while the other is abandoning (or already has) the PC. I'm not asking them to do something new, I'm just asking them to do what they did before.

But there's one thing I know, if those Steam Machines have success (which I doubt, to be honest), Microsoft will again release their games on PC, for windows only PCs, ofc.

Microsoft gave Remedy the go ahead to make a PC version.

I was wondering how long it would take for you to invade the conversation and waste a great opportunity of keeping quiet.
