This is something that Microsoft do right and Sony need to follow.
I hope they stay with Steam (and now Win8 only BS) like what they are doing now, Microsoft allow their IP like State of Decay to be on Steam (and published games like Mark of Ninja as well) it's good for Microsoft and the developers and the gamers and don't really hurt Xbox.
I would upgrade to Windows 8 just to play Killer Instinct. That way I don't have to buy a new console for 1 game
I really doubt that they're going to use the W8 store for PC ports. MGS's latest title, State of Decay, is on Steam. And the Halo games are in the database.
Optimism! Maybe KI will make it to PC! Optimism!
I think, and long-time PC gamers will agree, that this is around the 4th or 5th time MS has made this statement since entering the console market.
2 possible outcomes:
- it's bullshit again (most likely)
- "more projects on Windows" means locking more shovelware exclusively to their shitty Windows 8 store
Trashing GFWL is fine enough for PC support, thanks for the consideration though.

Perfect post.windows 8 store exclusive

Crackdown, Lost Odyssey and Crimson Skies please Microsoft.
It's the gift and the curse. Cool for PC guys who might wanna play and bad for them if they want people buying xboxes.This is something that Microsoft do right and Sony need to follow.
I bought Windows 8.SteamOS and no one buying Windows 8 has them a little scared I see haha.
A service like Xbox Live that knows me and my content and my friends and achievements across all these devices.
Halo 3 seven year port confirmed.

MS gets a lot of flak for this but I don't understand why. They're bringing (often good) games to another platform. This is one of the very few pro-consumer policies MS has left.

Reading rest of the article sounds like Windows 8 or new PC service
MS has been stating this shit since Windows XP. I feel bad for all of you who even get remotely excited by this.
MS is as committed to PC gaming as South Africa was committed to equality during apartheid.
Still waiting on that PC version of Halo 3, Micorosft.
This is the one area that could give their exclusives such a boost over the PS4, get on with it godammit.
What I wouldn't do for this..I'm still waiting for the Halo trilogy on Steam, Microsoft.
What games? Gears 1 with no sequels? Halo 2 as a Vista exclusive?
I guess they did Age of Empires and Flight Simul... Oh wait.
Mass Effect and Alan Wake off the top of my head. And patchy PC releases is better than no PC releases at all, as far as I'm concerned.
They could definitely be better, though, I agree.
