Epic isn't owned by Microsoft, they sold Gears of War to MS after damaging the franchise with GoW: Judgment. Oh and X1 menu is clear, look it up.

I Just said that the Actual Ads, were developed like Windows 8's ads, They made 3 High Rated and High apreciated games that was the Gears of War trilogy, They did not sold Gears of war, because was "Crashed", or "Spoiled", They sold because Microsoft, ofered a lot of Money, because Microsoft, was afraid that Gears of War, maybe were Coming to Playstation, and the Franchise is the Xbox's Mark, so they have the Credibility to spoke Un-biased, about Microsoft.

I wasnt talking to you. But for the sake of you trying to cause an arguement, or attempt to pick on me or other people i'll answer.

I simply brought up the fact that MS recently have been doing very well as a company. Outlining how the Surface family has been doing relly well. As well as Windows team doing really well. Both in reception, sales and consumer knowledge. 

Showing simply that MS are a different company now than they were 5 years ago Across the board.

It was relevant to my conversaatin with Svennoj.

My uestion is why are you wading in when there isnt a problem between me and Svennoj?

Please dont actually answer that question. just leave the matter.

Im not answering any questions about the phone market. That is completely irrelevant to the conversation i was having.

Again, there is not non-gaming related ads on X1 interface, at least not on mine, and pics potatohamster posted are not X1. And you don't need to tell me about Epic and Gears, I'm a huge fan of Gears and I appreciate Epic for the franchise but all the time they showed they were unwilling to listen their fan base and eventually they showed their incompetence with Judgment. It's not surprising MS wanted to buy one of their flagship franchises and have it developed with motivated team. With original devs on board I feel more confident about Gears4 than I would I it was developed by Epic. We'll know soon enough if TC can meet the expectations.

As for that Epic guy voicing his concerns, for me he seems to raise good questions. I'd like to see response from MS too and also opposite opinions from other devs also though.

Not saying one is right or wrong.

But look at it MS point of view. Is it ok for Valve to bypass Windows 10 ( and MS altogether ) by having a Stembox which doesnt run Windows and Steam OS availabe for PC gamers? Valve have already been clear, they dont want to use Windows. So is it ok for Valve to monopolize the PC market ? But not ok for MS to try and use the exclusives to keep PC gamers on Windows?

You made a Off-topic Answer for something that was not on the Table, i think that Anyone on a Forum have the right to Reply someone that is saying something out of topic, Is like I was on a Apple Article and was talking something about the Cartoon Gravit Falls (that is really good).

Or more close to what we are Saying, you  was talking about something about Microsoft, but that is Off-topic, because have nothing to do with the PC Gaming, the Console Gaming, or Xbox-PC, or anything related to the topic, the Topic of this Thread is something like "Why Microsoft is Supporting Both Xbox, and PC, and maybe they will get rid of the Traditional Generation Hardwares, with Upgradable consoles ?", Anything about Microsoft's Gaming, and Computer division, is relevant, but Mobile isn't, you can talk about all the Windows, the Surface, and still on-topic, but when you go to Mobile, Apple, and Google, this begin to run away from the original Topic.

One better Analogy than the previous, is that i'm on a  Playstation's Thread, and only because Sony, owns Aniplex, and Aniplex, owns A1 Pictures, this would give me the Rights to speak about Anime, but this isn't how a Thread works.

When you go off-topic, this push other off-topic comments, and the Off-topic goes on and on, and when you see it, we will be Speaking about Food on a  Xbox/PC Thread.

Im sorry . I believe a convesation that has spanned quite a few pages is your responsibiity to go back across the WHOLE conversation and read before wading in at the end with accusations.

I wont continue on this. The thread is fast becoming a danger zone.

Epic isn't the Original developers ?, when a franchise have a lot of releases is comum to some tittles to have lower quality than the others, this is comum on Any franchise with multiple titles.

I Saw that Epic, made Gears 1, 2, 3, Developed all the gears game until 2013, and after the aquisition by Microsoft, another company started to make the tittles, but the 3 first was 100% Owned, and Developed by Epic.

Resident Evil, you have Resident Evil 6, on Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XIII, on KillZone, KillZone Shadowfall, on Assassin's Creed, Assassin's creed Unity, and so on.

The way you talk about Epic, seems to make Epic's developer have less Credibility, and seems that Microsoft purchased the Franchise to make it stay High Quality, while the only reason was because the Games had the possibility to Arrive on Playstation, was the beggining of a New generation with Xbox, and Playstation, launching on the same year, so Microsoft was afraid of that, they could have Published and Co-developed the games for Epic, paying for the Development, also moving the Development team, and making deals to make those games stay exclusive, instead of Purchasing the Franchise.

You make it seems that Epic, was the Villain, and Microsoft, was the Good Guy, while neither of the 2 was neither of the 2 options, just Companies taking care of their affairs.

Because you moved too Off-topic, and does not want to face the Truth, and want to Silence people on a Open Forum, only because you replied a Off-topic Reply, and did not wanted to be disturbed.

When you enter on a Thread, you need to be open to speak with everyone, and speak with people that don't have the same oppinion as yours, even the oposite oppinion, Otherwise make your own thread and make the rules for what will be on the Thread.

You made an attack on me as a user, without having any previous part or knowledge of an ongoing conversation. What I said was fine in relation to this thread and the conversation I was having.

Your last chance. Just drop it or i'll report you.
