For people getting their hopes up. This is MS's various statements on their promise to PC gaming.
*snipped list*
I bet these PC games will end up requiring Gold to play multiplayer.
windows 8 store exclusive
Setting up a service like GFWL doesn't seem cheap but if they're so into losing money i'd say give it another go MS.
Them clouds don't pay for themselves.They wouldn't be stupid enough to try that again.
Or maybe are.
Hmm maybe I don't need an xbox one...
For people getting their hopes up. This is MS's various statements on their promise to PC gaming.
Thanks for gathering all of these. I see that my 4-5 empty promises estimate was in fact an understatement.For people getting their hopes up. This is MS's various statements on their promise to PC gaming.
Sorry, but all MS is doing is blowing smoke up the ass of gullible people. So yea go ahead and get your hopes up and get excited. In a year or two when none of what they say comes to fruition...I'll pretend to act shocked.
- 2005 - We care about PC gaming, Longhorn (Vista) to usher in modern PC gaming with "Tray and Play"
Vista launches with none of the stuff MS promised, Vista itself sucks the ass of a thousand camels.
- 2006 - MS: Don't Count PC Games Out
MS announces GFWL and how utterly amazing it will be, suckers everywhere rejoice in the eventual ass reaming they don't know is coming yet.
- 2007 - MS continues PC push
MS launches GFWL...and it has a $50 a year fee, and they announce a whole slew of games to include Shadowrun with cross platform play and Gears of War 1! What are you paying for you ask? Jank ass software that crashes and has the most unintuitive updating system known to man. Load a game, game says you need update. Signs you out, downloads update, you jump back in...oh GFWL client has a update too! signs you out, downloads up date and you log back in...
MS will shortly thereafter disband Ensemble because MS feels that they're (MS) moving in a different direction! But don't worry we tots <3 you PC gamers.
- 2008 - MS: PC gaming is A-okay
Yea we've looked at some money pie charts and can see that PC gaming brings in billions in revenue. Here is our open letter to how awesome PC gaming is and our promise to support it! We finally put some new titles up on GFWL! Oh and we got rid of the $50 a year fee for GFWL, see we're serious about PC gaming! If that's not a sign of commitment, I don't know what is!
- 2008 - MS: PC gaming is not dead!
Look at this event we're throwing for PC gaming, you think we'd throw this if we didn't truly care about it?! Look at these games that will be on GFWL. We <3 PC gaming. You want fixes for GFWL issues? We'll look into that.
- 2008 - MS bolsters PC gaming with all new Games for Windows Live!
Hey gaiz remember those GFWL client issues you were having...well we didn't fix those per say but....here is the same shit in a slightly newer skin! PROGRESS
- 2009 - MS: PC gaming still a priority for us!
Okay gaiz look, this time we're serious about our upcoming push in PC gaming. It's so vital to us at MS that we give the PC our love and support!
- 2010 - MS: "We're doubling down on PC gaming
By doubling down we mean we're keeping this shittastic GFWL client around because! We might even throw an update at it to fix the problem of game saves being randomly deleted or rendered worthless...maybe.
- 2010 - MS Launches Games for Windows Marketplace
Hey gaiz, we're making GFWL even better because it's now called Games for Windows Marketplace. Everything is brand new and easy to use, anonymous journalists have even said it's better than Steam. We had 3 interns and a janitor work on this, so you know we're committed!
- 2010 - MS: Windows 8 is going to relaunch gaming!
Hey gaiz, MS again. With Windows 8 we're totally going to put our full weight behind PC gaming just like we promised back in 2006! Pls be excite.
- 2012 - MS: We won't ditch GFWL!
We're committed to PC gaming and we absolutely think GFWL is the best play to get PC games and play with others. Our client is awesome....ly bloated and deletes shit randomly, but that's really one of the charms of PC gaming that we captured! It's a balanced experience! Hope you rike!
- 2013 - MS to discontinue GFWL
Hey gaiz new manager here, so like a bunch of your games might stop working come 2014...but that's okay! We expect there to be transitions as we build out new investments, but we remain committed to bringing first party gaming services and games to Windows for years to come. We will share more details in the future!
- 2013 - MS promises core first party games coming to PC
We're so committed we swear!

<snip> amazing post </snip>
MS, if you really care, release them on Steam. Don't make them Win8 exclusive or even bother with GFWL 2.0.
http://www.shacknews.com/article/81897/microsoft-promises-more-core-games-coming-to-pc-than-past
Reading rest of the article sounds like Windows 8 or new PC service
Are you as legit shook as I am?
As others have already brought up, this is another empty promise from a company that has proven for years that they have no fucking clue about PC gaming nor any intention of actually throwing support behind it. If you need any current proof of that, take a look at Zoo Tycoon on PC.
I swear, without any hyperbole or sarcasm, that this must have been the best thing they did for PC gaming in the last years.Trashing GFWL is fine enough for PC support, thanks for the consideration though.
So a few less reason to buy a Xbone....
Oh, clever you.
I think there's a lot of PC gamers who would appreciate the likes of Forza though, along with the upcoming stuff like Quantum Break etc. But it's pretty obvious that MS's intention is that you'll buy these from the new Windows store.
If they really cared, they would release it DRM free.
Don't expect big first party titles like Forza 5.
http://www.shacknews.com/article/79...r-to-traditional-desktop-pc-gamers-with-first
Probably smaller games you can play across all Win 8 devices.
Heavy is weird, just ignore it. Don't try to argue logically either, won't work.
While it's certainly bullshit, I'd buy Ryse or Quantum Break on PC. At least they're are better than Sony in that topic, even if still bad.
But then again, they killed Ensemble.
They don't own those IPs and Mass Effect has shown up on every platform that plays games, pretty much.
I thought they published ME1?
