Great news. I hope Ps4 will follow suit sooner or later.
I would be getting Doom 4 on Ps4 if it had Keyboard/mouse support.

As Zero said, the PS4 already supports K/M. It's just up to devs to implement it.

Is there any reason not to? I think they should go ahead and do it. Attract more PC fans.

Just because PC has many rts doesn't mean I wanna play on PC... I want these games on consoles too.

Unless we want to see it as a negative I don't see how this is a negative.

So you don't want to play on PC for anything?, even though RTS if one of PC's main genres?.

I'd also rather RTS games come about more freuiently ina  universal way, not an MS way that will no doubt lock said games to an OS and store. I want the genre to thrive like wildfire on PC and it's in no way going to thrive when it's locked to a single store on a single OS. I want more RTS games but I also want them to have more space and not be tied down, there should be no price to pay for such a wish.

My PC is for work on a work desk... not suitable to play long sessions play sessions after a days work.

You have to realize that if MS is the one making the games they have all the rights to sell their games through their stores on their OS. 

Also if one giant company puts effort behind these games then there will be more companies doing the same, good for the genre imo.



This is good news right?

I mean mouse & keyboard is the way to go for strategie games, so this will make playing those easier.
Same with MMOs & Mobas, and competitive shooters.


And you still have your controller for everything else.

Ah so you're one of those "PC is for work" types, ok.

I don't really care if it;s their right, it's very restritive with the way they see playing games in general the way others do, to those who love and are on board with MS, no issues for them but for those who want a new RTS title but don't want to support MS, well I guess they are fucked. However when someone decides to make an RTS game and support those who don't want Win 10, then they are likjely to get more support and praise, the more they support multiple OS's, the better for them and everyone else because we all win out of that race fair and square. With MS it's buy my game or sod off" (before you mention Steam, ebcause currently it's being used as the biggest shield to defend the whole Win 10+10store exclusive as being the same, it's not since STeam supports everyhting MS does not and more and MS doesn't want all that Steam does either way).

The genre still has some titles coming out this year, you don't need MS sounding the siren and having everyone band behind them. It's better for everyone when everyone gets to play the game. It's better for devs to be more universal in terms of OS support than being rectiected to a single OS and calling it objectively good for those who aren't on the Win10 boat, can't tell them to sod off because you're just not seeing the big picture at all if that's how you see it.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

How will they stop mouse users from destroying controller users in FPS though? That's going to be an issue if they can't solve it.

In my case my PC is for work yes, is there a problem with that? Just because some people use it for gaming doesn't mean I have to do the same. Especially if it's on a work desk... I by no mean think it's solely for work, just that in my case that's what it is... 

People are weird with Microsoft making MS games on a MS platform selling them on MS store... really? Why would they sell their inhouse games elsewhere? Are you complaining for Sony and Nintendo making their games exclusively for their platforms? 

If RTS are made by MS then yes I understand they would be sold through Windoes Store but any other company is free to sell them anywhere on any platforms. 



So PC is giving something back for the exclusives just need some basements and virus will be all good.

Not saying there is a problem but a PC isn't just meant for just work, people that don't forcibily hold onto an old version of history are more or less in existence and make the current platform work well enough. Asking for a genre to twist itself for your platform is quite odd though.

Is it weird that other companies out there support more than a single store and OS?, what is objectively wrong or worse to support more people, more stores and OS's than the one?. What is wrong with wanting MS to support their previous two OS's let alone other users who don't want to play by their rules?, I've seen a lot of people throughout history that didn't go "take it or sod off", I have definitely seen the latter but the former exist and make it work, why does MS have to be the one who doesn't have to work to become the former?. I just see more praise for those that support multiple people vs supporting a single target group, you'd think more support for more people was better than supporting something that everyone isn't really in agreeance with.

That bolded part, I don't know what you're trying to get at with it because to me others supporting MS and other stores/OS's is objectively better than supporting just MS simply because the former desires to support more people. Supporting more people is really what MS wants but only if people adhere to their rules which at the end of the day everyone isn't going to do, not 7 billion at least. Surely you see the errors that come come with this? (not talking about what I said but more or les the errors of supporting and trying to dictate a small group vs adhering to the bigger populous).
