I'm hoping this myself but afaik they said Gears 1 would be Windows 10 along with Fable Legends and KI, most likely the same for all the other titles, all these huge delays sound like MS set it up so once Windows 10 was releasing publicly and after the following months they think the majority will have moved onto the one OS, trouble is we all haven't and currently I see no reason to move to 10 and the reasons fans provide me just don't cut it. Locking their ports to a single OS sounds like a really bad idea tbh, especially when you've got millions of users on both 7-8-8.1 that still haven't moved to 10 and then of course there was the situation a few months back where MS claimed they weren't "competing" with Steam and yet we've got the windows 10 store which will likely be the primary and only source to get those ports which also fills me with a bit of ire because they told us they weren't competing (and yet setting up shop to not support other vendors proves you are in it to win it) and we haven't heard a peep that all these future ports will even touch Steam. I believe they should release onto Steam due to the install base there along with the lieks of Origin and Uplay, the one edge they can offer from their store is their cheevo/friend system, possible even offer a discount that entices people but for the love of god don't lock your very late (don't even know the port quality of any titles) ports to a single OS and store. From my pov I'm happy with what Blizzard have done with their client along with Valve but EA does have good customer service and a sleek/tidy client but they still have a long ways to go for offering more games on theirs and Uplay has awhole ball game to catch up on, GoG's client though is completely optional and GoG is DRM free from the get-go anyway. MS on the other hand I dunno if I want another client that only releases a very small number of titles, titles that are likely to be delayed and sold at higher prices (seriously I'm not really up for supporting those that don't support the "time is money" phrase). |
to be fair MS said a LOT of stuff at the begining of the gen...we see how that turned out.
